Malala Yousafzai is a truly inspirational figure, a teenager who won the Nobel Peace Prize while still studying for her GCSEs in Birmingham, but she isn't especially well-served by Davis Guggenheim's reverential documentary about her. Nov 5, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The validity of her vital crusade - and by extension, the film's practically short-circuit appeal to your heart and gut - is tough to argue with. Nov 5, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's so disappointing to see [Malala] saddled with such a perfunctory, trite, and gushing tribute that barely scratches the surface of this remarkable woman. Aug 6, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

A lengthy but fast-paced mixture of animated sequences, dramatised reconstructions, news and specially shot footage, He Named Me Malala is a well-made, easy to digest documentary-lite. May 31, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Touching, likeable and often life-affirming, HNMM keenly balances its themes and subject matter, and most importantly fully allows the warmth and grace of its subject shine through. May 3, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
