A Boy Called Po Reviews
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
Despite good intentions, this is a disappointing treatment of a subject that deserves better.
Common Sense Media
Carrie R. Wheadon
Weepy tale of widowed father's struggles with autistic son.
Movie Nation
Roger Moore
Generally well-acted and well-intentioned, but sentimental and sloppy as it outstays its welcome.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
A simple family story which follows a predictable path but does it with grace, A Boy Called Po features impressive performances from its two leads, who have great chemistry and effectively capture a complex relationship.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
There's no denying that A Boy Called Po has the best intentions at heart, but those only get a movie so far.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
A Boy Called Po is clearly a personal project for everyone involved (many of them have autistic children themselves), and it mostly does what it set out to do.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
A TV movie-style viewing experience, hitting conflicts and emotional beats with a sledgehammer, while the ending is borderline inexcusable.
Shockya.com
Harvey S. Karten
A single dad has his hands full in a narrative film that will give viewers insight into the nature of autism.
Variety
Nick Schager
Well-meaning but, on the whole, intensely inert ...
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
An earnest drama that could have used a subtler, less didactic approach to its tender subject matter.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
While overflowing with good intentions, this woefully contrived drama tackles autism, bullying, single parenting and the grieving process without providing sufficient insight into any of them.
Film Journal International
André Hereford
A Boy Called Po pours on the schmaltz and a Burt Bacharach score to sketch an oddly affecting portrait of autism.
Film Inquiry
Amanda Mazzillo
A Boy Called Po lacks a realistic exploration of autism, falling into common tropes surrounding the depiction of autism in Hollywood films.
