Above and Beyond Reviews
Common Sense Media
Renee Schonfeld
Stirring docu about heroic WWII pilots who aided Israel.
Epoch Times
Joe Bendel
This is a flat-out terrific film that is not ashamed to celebrate heroism and derring-do attitude.
Maven's Nest
Nora Lee Mandel
Nimbly combines salty old dog storytellers regaling the swashbuckling derring-do of their youth with ILM's whiz bang special effects for a thrilling documentary ride.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
"Above and Beyond" is a straightforward, rah-rah documentary that shines a light on a group of World War II pilots who were recruited to essentially create the Israeli air force during the Palestine War in 1948.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Though somewhat marred by cheesy docudrama re-enactments, the film (produced by Steven Spielberg's sister Nancy) is nutty, dramatic, surprising and above all inspiring.
Tribune News Service
Roger Moore
The appearance of Pee Wee Herman in this documentary about the birth of the Israeli Air Force is the money moment.
Slant Magazine
Wes Greene
It may channel the loose, adrenaline-fueled lives of pilots, but the film's inconsistent, often impassive study of this intriguing real-life adventure feels half-told.
Baret News
Kam Williams
Reverential retrospective recounts U.S. pilots' role in Israel's War of Independence.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
Though naggingly simplistic in its historical scope, the film offers a fascinating chronicle of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war through the eyes of a daring group of men.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
The film veers toward oversimplified selectivity, too intent on its feel-good, back-patting agenda.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
The film is best appreciated as a straightforward testimonial: old war buddies' hurrah against anti-Semitism.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
A fascinating little-known historical tale is stirringly recounted in Roberta Grossman's documentary about Jewish-American fighter pilots who volunteered to fight for Israel in its 1948 War of Independence.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Although the approach is too straightforward, the film conveys a valuable history lesson that's both informative and inspirational.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
Above and Beyond makes for a solid documentary that would almost certainly be a thriller if told as a narrative because the film shows how a number of Jewish pilots came together in a classic David vs. Goliath tale.
