Adam Keleman Slant Magazine The film is as insubstantial and irrelevant as the group itself, providing no probing insight into its ultimate purpose and function, or how they managed to survive all these years. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 4, 2009 Full Review Annlee Ellingson Moving Pictures Magazine Storey's discoveries feel undeveloped, and one is left with suggestions rather than conclusions. Jul 29, 2010 Full Review Fr. Chris Carpenter Movie Dearest Fascinating...director Lee Storey wisely resists criticizing individual Up With People members, she doesn't hold back recounting its leaders' excesses. Rated: A- Aug 2, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Interesting film. I was approached and offered a chance for my kids to join this group. The more I read about it, the more it just frightened me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
