Reviews
"There are no answers in this movie. It's just showing us something real and saying, 'Here, look. Think about this. Feel it.' In looking and listening, in watching, really watching, this movie, you feel that tingle of energy, that cool electricity, Freud's uncanny; the trigger in us all that that says, 'Pay attention—there's something else out there. There's something else to all of this.' " - Matt Zoller Seitz, Rogerebert.com
"Beautiful Something Left Behind” is a simple, elegant documentary about children coping with such heartbreaking loss, at a facility designed especially for them." - Glenn Kenny, The New York Times
