Critics Consensus: He Named Me Malala spotlights a worthy subject, but without the focus her story deserves.

Despite Guggenheim’s asymmetrical approach, Malala’s unquestionable bravery and youthful idealism shine through.

Spirituality & Health

Bilge Ebiri

Ultimately, this gentle documentary is less interested in the typical needs of drama and more in the patient, accepting demeanor of the remarkable young woman at its heart.

Even beyond Malala, there's plenty of interesting material to work with here, such as the inside explanation of the Taliban's appeal to the uneducated populations. But He Named Me Malala is simply unable to present it in a coherent fashion.

Malala is a unique, surprising individual, who's part of a larger history of standing up to oppression.

Malala is highly confident, well spoken yet cheeky, and the story is powerful and inspiring.
