Nell Minow RogerEbert.com One could picture another less-creative director making a very different kind of film about McCollum: an earnest, respectful work of hagiography. Polsky includes his doubts. Rated: 4/4 Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Christopher Campbell Nonfics (Substack) Director Gabe Polsky features himself as a character, and it becomes as much his quest to make his film and to trust and understand his subject. He also serves as a proxy for the audience as he’s at different points skeptical, curious, and open. Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? Kudos to Polsky for somehow wading through it all with a straight face and open mind because it means we can too. Something we forget in today’s world of celebrity “geniuses” is that actions always trump image. Rated: 7/10 Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Dan Mecca The Film Stage The most interesting thing about Gabe Polsky’s new documentary The Man Who Saves the World? is that it is unsure of its intentions. Oct 17, 2025 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru A captivating and provocative documentary. Oct 16, 2025 Full Review John Stark Mac the Movie Guy The Man Who Saves The World might play like a tall tale, but also might just be the the hero we need right now as one man seeks to unite and bring peace. Rated: 85/100 Sep 28, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
