In moments that have nothing to do with representing the weight of love (whatever that is), the film comes alive: when Ami Ankilewitz isn't a symbol - just a man who, for instance, loves a woman. Read full review
'39 Pounds of Love is a heartwarmer that looks away from darker, deeper, and more troubling matters. Read full review
A heart-tugger that, although highly inspirational, has a strongly orchestrated quality. Read full review
Dani Menkin's documentary tracks his odyssey, which by nature is hard to be cynical about. Still, the feature feels padded even at 70 minutes. Read full review
There are some very moving scenes, and Ankilewitz' emotional and physical strength is certainly inspiring. Equally compelling is the dedication of his able-bodied friends and family, who never patronize him. Regrettably, the film itself, which feels both breathlessly over-awed and padded out at only 74 minutes, is unable to treat him with the same relaxed respect. Read full review

Feels uncomfortably stage-managed, and raises fundamental questions that it simply ignores. Read full review
