Beautifully shot, the film is unapologetically a crowd-pleaser whose gentleness of tone flows from its subject.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

The Hollywood Reporter by Frank Scheck
Few true-life stories are as inspiring as that of Darko Kralj, the subject of Dejan Acimovic's new documentary The King.

The New York Times by Neil Genzlinger
An admiring but restrained documentary about Darko Kralj, a Paralympic shot-putter from Croatia. The film is more about what it takes to overcome adversity and recommit to finding meaning in life, terrain that anyone with a disability has to negotiate, athlete or not.

Revelatory for the disabled and entertaining for the rest of us.
