Jeanette Catsoulis, NY TIMES
"39 Pounds of Love" presents a bracingly honest, yet poetic portrait of a man refusing to be defined by the limitations of his body."

Kim Voynar, CINEMATICAL
"I think the most likely scenario for the five Oscar noms looks like this: March of the Penguins; Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room; Favela Rising; 39 Pounds of Love; and After Innocence."

Todd Schwartz, CBS RADIO
"Sorry, Penguins - THIS is the best documentary of the year..."

Wesley Morris, THE BOSTON GLOBE
"If you leave this film unmoved, you probably aren't human."

Ana Maria Montero, CNN
"I had a REALLY, REALLY bad day yesterday but, after viewing the film for the second time, I got emotional and asked myself, 'Oh my God, what am I complaining about?!' This film is special."

Phil Hall, FILM THREAT
"As far as I am concerned, Ami Ankilewitz is the movie star of the year."
