B+
"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"  Monsters and Critics  Ron Wilkinson
