Young Plato Reviews
Film Threat
Ray Lobo
McAverey and his staff's love for the children comes through clearly.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
"Young Plato" is a fascinating, sometimes funny and often touching film. It's easy to see why the directors were drawn to McArevey and his school.
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
A guardedly optimistic film showing us...the Platonic Ideal, a school with a small enough teacher-to-student ratio, with respected, committed and compensated educators...teaching children to reason, debate and think for themselves.
Fort Worth Report
Joe Friar
A wonderful documentary that makes you wonder why philosophy isn't taught at every school. This isn't a Hollywood version of a true story, it's the real deal. Truly inspiring.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
A stark reminder of the impact of generational violence

Laura Hiros
If you would like to have a dose of inspiration so needed this days, and if you are willing to learn with a non traditional movie, without a doubt this is a great option for a weekend. [Full Review in Spanish]
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Provocative, heartwarming and inspirational glimpse inside a primary school that's like an oasis in the desert.
Hollywood Report Card
Ross Anthony
Powerful, engaging, inspirational and important ... The headmaster, hell-bent on growing thinkers instead of fighters, serves up the philosophy of ancient Greeks. Great conversation starter.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
This is just wonderful... I love this movie.
Big Apple Reviews
Harvey S. Karten
Inspiration tale of elementary school kids majoring in philosophy.
The Patriot Ledger
Al Alexander
I'm no doctor, but allow me to prescribe "Young Plato" as a potential cure for what ails our increasingly fractured society.
Beyond the Cinerama Dome
Tina Kakadelis
Young Plato isn't flashy. There are no fanciful edits or infographics to get the point across. In many ways, the documentary mirrors its main subject. "It's caring philosophy. Everyone's opinion matters," Principal McArevey tries to drive home.
