Crip Camp Ratings & Reviews
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
At times it feels like Crip Camp bites off slightly too much for a movie that's less than two hours long. But I can't really blame the directors for cramming in as much information as they can.
Bitch Media
Bedatri D. Choudhury
It visibilizes the history of one of the most invisibilized communities in this country.
AV Club
Katie Rife
Mostly, this is an empowering feel-good documentary about a small group of people who came together in the right place at the right time.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Crip Camp" shows change can come from anyone, anywhere at anytime. It's a lesson that should always be taken to heart but rings especially true now.
Film Comment Magazine
Jonathan Romney
Crip Camp is a buoyant, illuminating, and very to-the-point historical documentary.
Tribune News Service
Katie Walsh
The riveting tale of a decades-long radical revolution that changed the world forever.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
[It] sounds as if it's going to be Good for You rather than good, but it actually turns out to be both - as well as surprising, which is surprising in itself, given that inspirational civil rights documentaries tend to be more alike than unalike.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Crip Camp conveys, as few films do, a sense of lives lived furiously and passionately across a vast stretch of time.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
At about the halfway point, Crip Camp segues from being a snapshot of a cool getaway for disabled teens to a bigger-picture chronicle of the birth of a movement.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
The spirit of revolution - righteously angry yet full of bonhomie, demanding but generous in its reach - is alive and well in the film. As, one hopes, it is everywhere else.
Polygon
Karen Han
The message that inclusivity and community can spur real change is important, and no less urgent today than it was in the 1970s.
Salon.com
Ashlie D. Stevens
Using a treasure trove of archived footage and colorful contemporary interviews, Lebrecht and Newnham weave together a punchy, straightforward and inspiring documentary that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
It's thrilling.
TIME Magazine
Stephanie Zacharek
Heumann's continued leadership helped secure the passing of the ADA. But the triumphs of these activists is made even sweeter by the footage of them as very young people at Camp Jened...
NPR
Bob Mondello
A raucous odyssey filled with twists, setbacks, smart strategizing, and unlikely strokes of luck.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Although the template possesses the trappings of what might be called a feel-good film, there's happily nothing saccharine about it.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
A look back at how a New York summer camp run by hippies helped form a generation of political firebrands ready to fire up the Disability Rights Movement. Produced by Michelle and Barack Obama, this indispensable doc is the definition of inspiring.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
With deep filmmaking empathy that strikes a remarkable balance between delivering a universal message and telling very individual stories, Crip Camp offers something we could all use more of -- hope for the future.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
"Crip Camp" is thus a moving and passionate tribute to the herculean efforts it took... to bring about ramps, curb cuts and other essential accessibility provisions.
Associated Press
Lindsey Bahr
It's a worthy story even without the coda of the fight for their civil rights. You never know where empowerment might stem from: Sometimes, it's a hippie camp in the Catskills.
