Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

william tancredi We went to quad cinema today on west 13th street in NYC to see Still I Strive.I brought my two kids (11 and 8 years old) and we all thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. I have been traveling to Cambodia for 24 years and working there for 14. Cambodia is a country that most of the world knows little about but a short 30 years ago suffered incredible genocide. But today, right now, the children of that generation are still struggling to survive each day and rebuild their country. I highly recommend you take the short 1.5 hours out of your day to see a real and important story about the children of Cambodia.

Chamithri Adikarige It is quite impossible to hold your tears while you watch this heartwarming documentary. It takes you back to the time that we all have lost, the once true gift of life called the "childhood", where we played kings and queens, laughed in the rain and quarreled with our elders.But the documentary explores a harder reality of orphan children of Cambodia, their harsh beginnings, lost of their simple colorful existences in a little country with big problems. The filmmaker brilliantly succeeds in preserving the innocence of children by integrating a mythic tale wonderfully acted by the little gems, thus making it a documentary for all ages. It is a risk well taken. It is all about determination, hard work, larger than life dreams and overcoming hardships, and it'll inspire you with each shot.

eitnerb I was fortunate enough to see this film when I was recently in California and was amazed by the story it told and the people that dedicate their lives to helping these children that had no future.The cinematography is excellent and we see the children telling their personal stories intermingled with their current lives and the show that they are rehearsing & performing. The performers are extremely talented and there is no doubt that they now have a future ahead of them.Variety's review says it best "The power of performing arts to restore hope to damaged lives is marvellously captured".I highly recommend seeing this movie, if you have the opportunity.

Tamara Johnson I was fortunate enough to see Still I Strive at a screening 2 years ago. I am so happy this film is finally being released. The love and care these children are given, after coming from horrific conditions, will bring tears to your eyes. And the artistry the emerges from their experiences shows that the spirit cannot be held captive forever. The director has cleverly made a 'film within a film' bringing the creativity of the children to a beautiful reality. Still I Strive is directed and edited with sensitivity and the score is absolutely beautiful. A 'must see' for anyone who feels their life has thwarted their dreams. Thank you for bringing this film for the world to enjoy!
