Wendy Ide Observer (UK) As an uplifting portrait of human endeavour against the odds, this is hard to beat. Rated: 4/5 Dec 4, 2023 Full Review Anna Smith Time Out It’s a gripping watch, regardless of whether or not you know the outcome. Watching these committed athletes is intensified by the knowledge of what they have been through to survive, let alone become world class Olympians. Rated: 4/5 Dec 1, 2023 Full Review Danny Leigh Financial Times We Dare to Dream keeps a determinedly wide lens. Even so, some details inevitably slip out of frame. But this deeply bittersweet film still contains a wealth of powerful stories. Rated: 4/5 Nov 30, 2023 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall It's an earthy, open-handed film and an important reminder of the humanity behind a global issue. Rated: 4/5 Dec 5, 2023 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Heartfelt, well-edited and uplifting, but too pat and incomplete. Oct 18, 2023 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com With We Dare to Dream, Waad al-Kateab secures her status as one of the best of the up-and-coming documentarians.
