Reviews:
This is such and inspiring movie. Not because there is some great hero or big, magnificent event that changes everything, but because it’s about real people dealing with real struggles and having to take many steps to work through and overcome. Dealing with some unique challenges in their life this family must learn to come together in love and joy and they need help to get there. There are moments in life where we experience fun and laughter, and sadness and tragedy, but making a choice to see things differently not only affects us but also others who need help too. It’s a fun and eye-opening story.

Even though I’m not a parent, The Unbreakable Boy resonated with me. At its core, the film is about perseverance—pushing forward when life gets messy, complicated, and downright hard. That theme is something we can all relate to.
I appreciated that the movie didn’t sugarcoat the family’s struggles. It portrayed both the joys and the difficulties of raising a child with unique challenges in a raw and honest way. However, there were moments where the conflict between the husband and wife seemed a bit too neatly resolved, which made some of their struggles feel less impactful.
One of the biggest takeaways for me was a shift in perspective. I’ve caught myself being quick to judge when I see a child having an outburst at the grocery store or being loud at a restaurant. Watching this film made me realize that there’s often much more going on beneath the surface. It’s not always about poor parenting or a disrespectful child—often time, families are just doing their best in circumstances we can’t see.
Overall, The Unbreakable Boy is a touching, eye-opening story about love, resilience, and the beauty of embracing life’s imperfections. It left me with a little more compassion and a reminder that everyone’s journey is different.
