The film does an excellent job of letting us inside Lakshmi's physical and emotional experience.

San Francisco Chronicle -
Colorful and visually pleasing, although there is nothing surprising in the rather predictable story.
|

|
The Seattle Times -
Achingly sad and dismayingly familiar.

All the characters are broadly sketched, though well acted. Beyond that, the innate tension of the subject matter — and the shamelessly manipulated emotions — carries the film to its uplifting ending.

The Hollywood Reporter -
The rest of us will likely fall into one of two camps regarding this well-intentioned film: those who praise it for drawing attention to the suffering of helpless children, and those who find it sufficiently lacking in cinematic value to decide there are better ways of helping those kids than spending 90 minutes watching it.
