The film is right in line with Kempner's other works...but as long as she keeps excavating these illuminating treasures of the Jewish-American past, that she's not doing anything radically new fades in importance. Sep 17, 2015 | Rating: 4/5

Inspiring as the story of Julius Rosenwald is, there's little in the film that illuminates what kind of man this heroic philanthropist was. Sep 10, 2015 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Most viewers will likely have little-to-no familiarity with the events recounted in this documentary, and are guaranteed to leave the theater feeling enlightened and perhaps more than a touch gobsmacked. Sep 4, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Kempner has also interviewed people whose lives were shaped by Rosenwald's charity, and their cultural reminiscences give a strong feeling for what he was all about. Sep 3, 2015 | Full Review…

Despite its overlong running time and a tendency towards the dreaded "PBS Effect," this documentary... is dependably fascinating. Oct 8, 2015 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

While sugared to a certain degree, the core of "Rosenwald" is pure, watching Kempner communicate the need for charity and the importance of support, celebrating a man who worked to better the world. Sep 16, 2015 | Rating: B | Full Review…
