Nicky's Family Reviews
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
The unfathomable tragedy of the Holocaust is beyond the scope of "Nicky's Family," and even as the credits roll, Winton's simple decency is as mysterious as ever.
Newsday
John Anderson
What's nettlesome about director Matej Minac's clunkily constructed documentary is what it says about our perverse but understandable need to spin some kind of happy ending onto the Holocaust.
New York Times
Anita Gates
An enthralling documentary by Matej Minac...
Boston Globe
Loren King
A good, if not great, introduction.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Hokey reenactments of the war years do the film no favors, but it's worth sticking them out to witness a humanity that never could be faked.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
There's a great story at the heart of Matej Minac's documentary "Nicky's Family," if only it were allowed to be told unvarnished.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Equally heartbreaking, informative and heartwarming. Unless you're made of stone, you will not be dry eyed by the time the end credits roll. It's easily accessible for all ages.
Slant Magazine
Rob Humanick
This is a powerful chapter in our human history, but it's made melodramatic and dull through Matej Minac's indulgence of hokey reenactments and sound-augmented archival footage.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
Nicky's story is now accessible and for that the film is a grand success.
About.com
Jennifer Merin
A great story, brilliantly told. Sir Nicholas Winton is pure inspiration. See this wonderful documentary to catch some of it...
Detroit News
Tom Long
Too much time is spent with survivors or Winton speaking to schoolchildren, or revisiting the place where this or that happened. Why not just talk to Winton himself?
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
The story is good enough to tell itself, and the filmmakers should have let it.
Oregonian
Jamie S. Rich
The documentary gets heavy handed with the contemporary material, but the actual story is one that deserves to be told.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
In addition to the force and the officialdom, dizzying and stark, there are particularly sharp stabs of feeling.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Although suffering from cheesy historical reenactments, this inspirational Holocaust-themed documentary recount a story that deserves to be more widely known.
Village Voice
Daphne Howland
As mechanical as a classroom lesson.
Variety
Alissa Simon
Inspirational pic provides a valuable albeit overproduced history lesson.
Film Journal International
David Noh
A great true story and a great man come together in this real heart-warmer of a documentary.
Mark Leeper's Reviews
Mark R. Leeper
Not as dismal as other stories from Holocaust documentaries. There are many positive notes.
Boston Herald
James Verniere
A true story about an ordinary person, who turned out to be an extraordinary human being when it counted the most.
