"
Walk to Beautiful
is a tender, evocative documentary...not an enraged film, it's one of optimism and education."
eFilmCritic.com
Brian Orndorf
3/5
"An enlightening documentary about a serious problem in Ethiopia suffered by poor women who have had obstructed pregnancies."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
3/4
"[Director Mary Olive] Smith makes no pretense of keeping a dispassionate distance from her subject: Her film is an unabashed call to action that shines a spotlight on a problem whose intimate medical nature relegated it to the shadows."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
4/6
"Smith’s film is a pure, unabashed humanitarian call to action, but her subjects are eloquent and her cause unimpeachable."
Time Out New York
Maitland McDonagh
3/5
"It is difficult not to be moved by the women's medical progress."
Film Threat
Phil Hall
3/4
"Fernando Meirelles take note: an honest and unvarnished portrayal of your subject, no matter the intended audience, is the most optimal path toward enlightenment and empathy."
Slant Magazine
Rob Humanick
5/10
"A most righteous cause, but one has to wonder if this is a documentary film, or an infomercial for the subject hospital"
