Blink

A really interesting and uplifting film about people facing adversity and the triumph of love over despair.

The slow drip of sanctification, forced down with an especially saccharine score, may be enough to make some viewers go off the film and even the subjects themselves as they enjoy the dream holiday of a lifetime.

I was deeply moved by this documentary... It's not just a travelogue but a profound statement about seizing the day.

We’ve all seen breathtaking footage of the natural world before... but the eye-level footage of the children playing together, wrestling and fighting and engaging with imaginary worlds of their own devising feels fresh.

Directors Daniel Roher and Edmund Stinson wisely allow the innate drama of this journey to rise to the surface amid the recognizable rhythms of daily life.

Yes, there’s family chaos, tears will be shed, but the compelling, compassionate nonfiction film captures the conscious creation of a deep emotional connection that’s universal.

A really inspired premise, beautifully told... [But] it left me with some questions.

A quaint travel documentary that never quite feels more than slight.

A film that speaks of filial love, resilience and innocence and that may change the way you see the world. [Full Review in Spanish]

This compassionate chronicle of the Pelletier family's adventures offers what that so many traveling families on YouTube can't: stakes, meaning, and gorgeous cinematography.
