	Media	Author	Review
		Justin Chang Variety	"An expectedly stirring portrait of the exceedingly smart and courageous Pakistani teenager who defied the Taliban and lived to tell the tale."
		Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"So much in this movie sounds as if it's well rehearsed that you're not really sure what to take at face value."
		Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter	"Director Davis Guggenheim (...) does some of his most heartfelt work in this tribute to Malala and her entire family."
		J.R. Jones Chicago Reader	"A little suspense might have helped this well-meaning but toothless effort."
		Sara Stewart New York Post	"The story of Malala Yousafzai is so inspirational, you couldn't make it up. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"
