Children around the world share their thoughts on a variety of subjects, such as love, war, family, religion and the future.

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

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

Bailey proves that talking to the right 11-year-old can be the most educational and uplifting thing an adult can do.

Bailey clearly has a gift for intimacy, as she has no trouble getting inside the homes and, you could say, heads of her subjects.

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

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.

I am... boring. 11 year olds are not that interesting.
