Critic Reviews for The Least of the These: The Graham Staines Story

All Critics (2) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (1)

An awkward screenplay by Andrew Matthews offers little feel for the way things actually work in Odisha... and given the picture's overall stiffness, Daniel seems lucky to have recruited actors with some experience as his leads.

John DeFore
Hollywood Reporter
While there's a certain obviousness to the plotting, and a necessary streamlining of knotty issues into easily digested factoids, for the most part The Least of These does a good job of communicating the selflessness of people like [Graham] Staines.
