REVIEWS

The Chicago Sunday Times
“...an honest and refreshingly uncutesy look at some of life’s deepest questions as seen through the eyes of this country’s children. The result is a program that will challenge and absorb adults and youngsters alike.”  - Bob Kurson

The New York Daily News
“The concept is simple, the potency almost staggering.  HBO’s documentary takes a mere 30 minutes to spend time with more than a dozen kids...to listen to them talk about how they feel about growing up with Tourette’s syndrome.  What they say is so eloquent, so poignant and so undilutedly honest, you won’t soon forget them.  Or this program.”  - David Bianculli

The Hollywood Reporter
“Upbeat, clever in its presentation and most importantly successful at helping viewers understand what it’s like to live with Tourette’s.”
