The price of good intentions is that it looks and feels like an extended public-service announcement for goodness.

No one would confuse the movie with a short-story collection. But it's more ambitious and effective at blunting cynicism than most consciousness-raising efforts.

Illuminating and ultimately hopeful, despite the horrible circumstances depicted, "Girl Rising" stands as a testament to the power of information.

Director Richard Robbins delights in dotting his screen with bursts of color, from a shimmering orange dress to the deep purple of a pen cap, while the stories, shaped by anecdotal brevity, are often charmingly modest.

While some of the films are more successful than others, they all show the power of engagement and education, of looking at the world and its problems, as one story put it, in a way "that makes the achievable seem doable."

The approach may have a distracting, overly fancy, diluting quality to it, but attention must nevertheless be paid to this film's basic theme.

Audience Reviews for Girl Rising

'Girl Rising'. Powerful, deeply moving stories (some more effective) about hopes and dreams in the developing world. A much needed perspective.

Excellent documentary! I've been blessed to live in several of these places and I felt that the movie captured many realities of poverty and oppression. Well done, great footage, and professional! Often these types of films do a good job expressing their point, but are quite cheesy or poorly filmed -- not this one! All around great film! Everyone should see it! (And I'm not sure I agree with the pg-13 rating, I think it is good even for elementary aged children -- with parental guidance -- for many follow-up conversations to help our coming generations change the world!!!)
