	Media	Author	Review
		Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"When the film’s core message finally kicks in (...) it comes across loud, clear and convincing. Lucid, well-argued and urgent, this is a film that everyone who cares about the future of our country should consider seeing"
		Marissa de la Cerda Chicago Reader	"Though a little cheesy at times, 'No Small Matter' effectively makes the case for why America needs to be treating early childhood education as a bigger issue than it has been."
		Courtney Howard Variety	"A creatively stimulating if not entirely compelling educational documentary about early childhood development"
		John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Persuasive and deeply relevant to today's racial-justice movement (...) [It presents] accessible, engaging science/sociology lessons"
		Rick Kogan Chicago Tribune	"Very effective, emotionally potent and occasionally sad (...) One does not need be an expert to get the message of the movie. It is not just for parents either. It is for all of us."
