My Name Is Pauli Murray

"A must-see doc about a must-know subject."

"Intricately crafted without being flashy, the Sundance-launched documentary trusts that its subject can hold her own. Murray does far more than that."

"An extraordinary documentary about an underrated civil rights giant who was way ahead of her time..."

"A breathtaking work of historical journalism..."

"The filmmakers touch on more compelling themes than in their Ginsburg hagiography, RBG... But the result feels an awful lot like an illustrated textbook."

"It is something of a shame... that this extraordinary story of an extraordinary person is told via bland film-making..."

"My Name is Pauli Murray creates a rich portrait of... an intricate figure."

"My Name is Pauli Murray delivers a lively, revelatory litany of all the things Murray got right first, in a career that was driven by equal parts intellectual curiosity and call to service."

"It does a terrific job of making amends, helped by a wealth of archival footage drawn from Murray's public and personal life."

"Betsy West and Julie Cohen’s film cements Murray’s legacy."

"Too often, Cohen and West's film falls short of mirroring the energy and resilience of Murray herself."
