All five of this year’s nominees are solid (sometimes quite sophisticated) treatments of their subjects.

Austin Chronicle

No one should look to the homogenous Academy for anything other than the status quo. All perfectly fine. But also: cautious and dull.

Cinema Sight

[on Audible] Yet, their disabilities increase the difficulties they face, but they approach them with courage and determination, wanting others to see them not as differently abled, but as completely normal.

Rated: 3/4

Films run the gamut from the usual heart-string tugging entries to the uplifting Queen of Basketball, a "Hidden Figures" of hoops.

WBGR-FM (93.7 FM - Monroe, WI)

Redemption with homelessness (LEAD ME HOME), deaf football players (AUDIBLE), history (THE QUEEN OF BASKETBALL) and war (THREE SONGS FOR BENAZIR). My favorite was WHEN WE WERE BULLIES, a 1960s childhood and bullying that could have happened to all of us.

Rated: 4/5

Fascinating stories and great photography. Several were too long could use some editing which is why I didn't give 5 stars.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
