Sam A @Padlock Jul 5 Scenery and atmosphere make this film. Really shows you the struggles of families living in the heat of Africa. A young teen inspires his village and does the impossible. A great watch, highly recommend See more Remy G @RT27249291 Jun 10 The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is an inspiring and well-made film based on a remarkable true story. The movie does a great job showing the challenges faced by William and his community, and the performances help make the story feel genuine and emotional. The themes of perseverance, education, and innovation are powerful and uplifting. The cinematography is beautiful, and the film gives a strong sense of place. However, the pacing can feel slow at times, and some scenes drag longer than necessary. A few supporting characters also could have been developed more. Despite those issues, the movie remains engaging and delivers an important message about determination and hope. Overall, it's a solid and meaningful film that's worth watching, even if it isn't quite as memorable as some of the best inspirational dramas.

Only negative is the cast for me, feels a little too Hollywood for how real and raw the story is. See more Chris B @Cgbarlow Jan 10 Most inspiring movie ever. My 13 year old son said if this African Tony Stark can make a windmill from a bike and a broken battery from the junk yard then with all his privilege he should be able to make something with dark matter.
