      Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's really inspiring and makes me have hope for the future. Mar 22, 2021 Full Review Arielle Bernstein RogerEbert.com While Own the Room succeeds at offering a captivating look at its incredible subjects, it also avoids more complicated questions about how we can best support young people and help them achieve their dreams. Rated: 3/4 Mar 12, 2021 Full Review Kyle Turner New York Times Tucked like a pair of aces into a solid but unremarkable hand of poker is a story arc that not only heightens the dramatic tension, but also clarifies the film's more compelling ideas... Mar 12, 2021 Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media A documentary like this one provides a much-needed dose of hope about the next generation's potential to change a volatile world, one person at a time. Rated: 4/5 Mar 25, 2021 Full Review John Serba Decider Own the Room might not win any best-doc awards, but if it inspires one young person to take a good idea as far as they can, mission accomplished. Mar 15, 2021 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail Costantini and Foster have chosen their characters wisely, given the energy and charm they bring to the screen.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Had friends suggest this as I am just out of school and started a business. It took a few minutes to get going, but when it did...I was in. Characters are great! I loved Henry and Santosh. It manages to inspire and touches on complex issues in an uplifting way. All this while not being preachy. Also it really validates what I am doing and shows how small business has a ripple effect and is the future. HIGHLY RECCOMEND.
