( Showing 1-13 of 13 Tomatometer Reviews, sorted z-a )   "This is a beautifully sensitive portrait of a unique school and, a very special teacher." -- Toreador, IOFILM.CO.UK   "It's a perfect show of respect to just one of those underrated professionals who deserve but rarely receive it." -- Rachel Gordon, FILMCRITIC.COM   "Philibert and his crew remain invisible throughout most of the this film's running time letting a way of life that is surely short-lived speak for itself." -- Laura Clifford, REELING REVIEWS   "A wonderful French documentary about a diligent teacher in a one-room classroom who revels in those magical moments when learning yields insight and delight." -- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, SPIRITUALITY AND HEALTH   "In a way, the film feels like a breath of fresh air, but only to those that allow it in." -- Marta Barber, MIAMI HERALD --  Click to read the article. -- Luca Bandirali, REVISION Soundtrack Books All Related Items   "The small triumphs and frustrations these children experience are more affecting than a thousand life-and-death battles between adults." -- Kim Linekin, EYE WEEKLY   "Nicolas Philibert observes life inside a one-room schoolhouse in northern France in his documentary To Be and to Have, easily one of the best films of the year." -- Ed Gonzalez, SLANT MAGAZINE   "The fly-on-the-wall method used to document rural French school life is a refreshing departure from the now more prevalent technique of the docu-makers being a visible part of their work." -- Robin Clifford, REELING REVIEWS   "One of those unassuming films that sneaks up on you and stays with you long after you have left the theatre." -- Liz Braun, JAM! MOVIES   Click to read the article. -- Tom Dawson, BBCI FILMS Cream of the Crop FRESH 100%   "As quiet, patient and tenacious as Mr. Lopez himself, who approaches his difficult, endless work with remarkable serenity and discipline." -- A.O. Scott, NEW YORK TIMES   "At once a testament to the divine calling of education and a demonstration of the painstaking process of imparting knowledge." -- Geoff Pevere, TORONTO STAR   "A film that is a portrait of grace in an imperfect world." -- Ray Conlogue, GLOBE AND MAIL
