Miniseries Reviews
Cultured Vultures
Charlie Ceates
Despite a few minor historical inaccuracies, A Small Light is a remarkable adaptation of one of the most haunting stories of the Second World War.
Variety
Aramide Tinubu
Powley's performance is particularly arresting. Her sharp blue gaze and determination to do what was right at a time when others looked the other way sets the series' tone from the pilot through the finale.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Slow starting at eight parts, the National Geographic/Disney+ miniseries builds steadily, in a fashion that's ultimately both stirring and heartbreaking.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
It's a valuable story, and it's told with grace.
RogerEbert.com
Clint Worthington
A glossy but moving tale of resistance and courage, and the risks everyday people take just to hold on to their humanity.
Austin Chronicle
Sarah Jane
[Bell] Powley plays Miep as immediately likeable and relatable as a modern young woman who likes to enjoy life, but may not be super-responsible.
Vogue
Chloe Schama
It's safe to say that overall, the show wouldn't work without Powley at its center. There's a silent-movie-star expressiveness to her face even when she's speaking in her loudest London twang.
New York Times
Mike Hale
"A Small Light" is a handsome, literate and moving production; like the people it focuses on, it is honorable in its intentions and choices.
Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
A series that makes some missteps, but mostly does a delicate thing in an honorable and also engaging way.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
A Small Light might focus on the heroic efforts of Miep and Jan Gies but at the end of the day, the series shows how they did the right thing when it could have meant arrest or death.
TIME Magazine
Judy Berman
A bracing, emotional but not excessively sentimental account of a regular woman's resistance to fascism.
Common Sense Media
Stephanie Morgan
Excellent performances bring emotional depth and authenticity to the show; Miep (Bel Powley) draws the viewer in with her quick humor, frank self-assessments, and willingness to always do what needs to be done.
The Playlist
Marya E. Gates
Quiet moments of profound humanism keep the show grounded and away from the realm of exploitation
Yahoo! Movies
Martin Carr
The story of Anne Frank is retold in this engaging war time drama headlined by Liev Schreiber, Joe Cole, and Bel Powley as Miep Gies.
Sioux City Journal
Bruce R. Miller
"A Small Light" towers as a series. It also reminds us we can accomplish so much if we just take a step to stop those who bully others. The lesson is just as important now as it was more than 80 years ago.
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
Rob Owen
It's not a somber re-telling of a familiar story but a sensitive, humanistic approach that allows room for humor and happiness even as viewers know the story will inevitably take a tragic turn.
Decider
Joel Keller
A Small Light is an extraordinary story about a historic figure people don't know a lot about, with a compelling lead performance from Powley.
Pop Culture Planet
Kristen Maldonado
Bel Powley delivers a fiercely layered performance as Miep Gies. What makes A Small Light stand out is the way that it makes the true story so accessible and relatable.
Paste Magazine
Terry Terrones
Full of drama, deception, heartbreak, and love, the series is sure to make audiences view a familiar story with even greater appreciation.
TV Insider
Matt Roush
This is, as ever, a harrowing and heartbreaking story, yet also inspiring whenever Miep drops in on the Franks and the others hiding in their upstairs cocoon.
