It’s little a bit Hallmark card, and it’s a little bit Susan “Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway” Jeffers, and watching it, I’ve never felt more righteously British in my life.

Ashley Moulton

Common Sense Media

The Light We Carry does have some moments of insight and stories that may resonate with teenagers, but much of Obama's interview responses are stories recycled from her first book, Becoming.

Rated: 3/5

Ann Marie Hourihane

Irish Independent

Michelle Obama -- can she do nothing wrong? She’s so beautiful, wise and self-aware that all we can do is curl up and listen to her tell us about how we can all be beautiful, wise and self-aware too. That’s what The Light We Carry is all about.
