The mellow Laue, clearly still mourning the death of his dad, makes a likable enough subject, if sometimes low-key to the point of dull.

Rated: 2.5/4

Hollywood Reporter

Despite the story's elements of suspense, loss and determination, though, the picture has a mundane, low-stakes vibe that fails to make the most of its inspirational content.

Film Journal International

Cornball adjectives like "inspiring" and "uplifting" are for once entirely accurate in describing this engaging documentary.
