Stephanie Merry Washington Post Regardless of background, sophistication or home country, the kids all share a lovely sense of open-heartedness. They all talk about being part of a collective, and see the human race as a large extended family. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 2, 2014 Full Review Thomas Lee San Francisco Chronicle What emerges is a group of kids who are generally content but must confront the often confusing time between childhood and adolescence. Rated: 3/4 Sep 29, 2014 Full Review Peter Rainer Christian Science Monitor An enjoyable mishmash of young voices and faces poised between childhood and teenagerdom. Rated: B Sep 29, 2014 Full Review David Harris Spectrum Culture A bad film with good intentions. Rated: 1.7/5 Nov 27, 2019 Full Review John Lui The Straits Times (Singapore) Bailey proves that talking to the right 11-year-old can be the most educational and uplifting thing an adult can do. Rated: 4/5 Sep 11, 2015 Full Review Ken Eisner Georgia Straight Bailey clearly has a gift for intimacy, as she has no trouble getting inside the homes and, you could say, heads of her subjects.

Audience Member An Over-Rated Thought Piece Developed By A Melbourne Based Journalist Looking For Insight That Really..Doesn't Pop Up Anywhere. The Idea Has Been Done Before, There Is Little To None Of New Gtound Broken. She Basically Travels Around Like A Go-Pro Weilding Tourist Invading Candid-Intimate Moments With Some Hodge-Podge Collection Of Questions & Just Shows A Vast Discrepancy Between Rich & Poor, School Educated & Niaeve Stupidity. It Is Okay To Watch But I Found I Got Little To Nothing Out Of It. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Cameron M Heartwarming and acquainting, I Am Eleven shines light on a relatively unexplored age and does well to show the differences amongst its wide variety of children but also their startling similarities. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/29/14 Full Review Audience Member I am... boring. 11 year olds are not that interesting. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Love this! My favourite 11-year-old is Billy Chandler. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Wonderful insight into the world today and the human response to growing up. Great for kids too. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Great work.... Really positive and lovely touch. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
