	Author	Review
United States	Nick Schager Variety	"Lacking both fluidity and complexity, 'Te Ata' is a functional but one-note tribute told through educational storytelling that, unlike its subject, doesn’t manage to inspire."	NEU
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Inspirational but bland (...) 'Te Ata' ultimately feels more suitable for classroom than mainstream consumption."	NEU
United States	Teo Bugbee The New York Times	"The movie’s driving force is its mythic performance scenes, which are choreographed, sung and acted with clear, balletic conviction by the film’s star, Q’orianka Kilcher"	POS
United States	Tatiana Craine Village Voice	"Q’orianka Kilcher delivers a determined, earnest performance (...) There’s no grit or subtlety here"	NEU
United States	Tom Keogh Seattle Times	"An illuminating, sometimes moving intersection of history, family conflict and the sort of rising, individual destiny that can nudge a nation along in its progress (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
