Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

This is a breathless, exciting story, heartbreaking and exhilarating at the same time.

Washington Post Ann Hornaday

Like all good fairy tales, this outsize celebration of perseverance and moral triumph contains within it a deeper
idea -- in this case, the relative nature of what we think we know, and what's worth knowing at all.

Film Threat Scott Mendelson

Absolutely perfect family entertainment for anyone over the age of ten. It is a celebration of not just the usual
triumph of the human spirit, but a celebration of the human experience.

Time Richard Corliss

Despite its elements of brutality, this is a buoyant hymn to life, and a movie to celebrate.
