Critics Consensus: Sweet and unabashedly sentimental, Batkid Begins is an uplifting look at a selfless act that brought a city together.

The deeper we go into Dana Nachman's unquestioning, feature-length cheerleading film, the more uncomfortable I felt about the reaction of one person to that magical and overwhelming day. Miles.
Cynics can carp. Let them. But don't be one of them.
Unfortunately Batkid Begins is so rigidly upbeat that it begins to seem like one of those really cheesy Hallmark movies on TV.
While it's far from stellar filmmaking, there's a winning positive tone to this misty-eyed documentary.
Nachman, for her part, diligently tries not to lose sight of the child at the center of it all.
Batkid Begins has the feel of a barn-raising gone global.
The message of Batkid Begins is, to me, Cynics of the world? You lost.
I'm still not sure if it warranted a full length documentary, but [it] is a fine ode to Batman and the human condition.
With great cheer and good spirit, Batkid Begins tells a true story that will restore your faith in humanity.
It tells the story in a powerful and uncomplicated way.
It's refreshing to see a film that's completely lacking in cynicism.
If you have the opportunity to see Batkid, I encourage you to buy a ticket. It won't change our world. But it could change us. Then we can improve the world. Batman would like that.
