Nicholas Winton is a figure who deserves a worthy documentary in his name; unfortunately, Matej Minac's Nicky's Family only gets about halfway there.

He's been dubbed "Britain's Schindler." However, instead of the Spielberg treatment, Nicky's Family gives Winton something more like a Heritage Minute, complete with kitschy, misbegotten re-enactments.

In addition to the force and the officialdom, dizzying and stark, there are particularly sharp stabs of feeling.

Nicky's story is now accessible and for that the film is a grand success.

The documentary gets heavy handed with the contemporary material, but the actual story is one that deserves to be told.

Equally heartbreaking, informative and heartwarming. Unless you're made of stone, you will not be dry eyed by the time the end credits roll. It's easily accessible for all ages.

Please watch this movie! The powerful true story of the domino effect of one person doing something noble during the most horrific time in history is incredibley moving. it is a valuable history lesson and a movie of hope for a cynical world.

If you didn't cry throughout this documentary then you're emotional moron. What a great documentary. Well told story. The director brought together many people who were party of the events, and their stories were well told.

Excellent Documentary, explaining a story that almost didn't get told... What a humble man, who just passed away July 1st of this year... his acting of saving 669 children before World War ll, has paid back in many ways <3

I defy anyone who watches this to not feel super emotional by the residual good one action can do. A great demonstration of how saving one life multiplies and saving a few hundred turns into tens of thousands. It really helps you understand the Jewish saying 'save one life, save the world'.
