There is a lot to admire here. Writer-director Alejandro Monteverde (Bella) is not afraid to take his time letting you get to know the characters or moving things along, but the movie never seems ponderous.

What makes it intermittently palatable even to non-believers is that it acknowledges some of the darker truths of the era.

Slant Magazine
It conveys life experience to such a sentimentalized degree that the world comes to resemble only the sham of a Norman Rockwell painting.

Little Boy is loaded with weighty subjects and teachable moments, all doled out between generous helpings of tragedy and sentiment. It’s ambitious, but a cluttered weeper whose lessons might have stuck, had there been fewer of them.
30
A drearily sincere movie about faith and tolerance, Little Boy boasts plenty of good intentions but very little else.
