Young Plato Ratings & Reviews
Video Librarian Magazine
Ally Ham
Set in the Ardoyne district in Belfast, Northern Ireland against the historical backdrop of the 2001 Holy Cross dispute... Young Plato grounds us in this tense sociopolitical context, peeling back the layers of hate and prejudice these boys face every day
Beyond the Cinerama Dome
Tina Kakadelis
Young Plato isn't flashy. There are no fanciful edits or infographics to get the point across. In many ways, the documentary mirrors its main subject. "It's caring philosophy. Everyone's opinion matters," Principal McArevey tries to drive home.

I'm no doctor, but allow me to prescribe "Young Plato" as a potential cure for what ails our increasingly fractured society.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
This is just wonderful... I love this movie.
Fort Worth Report
Joe Friar
A wonderful documentary that makes you wonder why philosophy isn't taught at every school. This isn't a Hollywood version of a true story, it's the real deal. Truly inspiring.

Laura Hiros
If you would like to have a dose of inspiration so needed this days, and if you are willing to learn with a non traditional movie, without a doubt this is a great option for a weekend. [Full Review in Spanish]
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
"Young Plato" is a fascinating, sometimes funny and often touching film. It's easy to see why the directors were drawn to McArevey and his school.
Hollywood Report Card
Ross Anthony
Powerful, engaging, inspirational and important ... The headmaster, hell-bent on growing thinkers instead of fighters, serves up the philosophy of ancient Greeks. Great conversation starter.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Provocative, heartwarming and inspirational glimpse inside a primary school that's like an oasis in the desert.
Big Apple Reviews
Harvey S. Karten
Inspiration tale of elementary school kids majoring in philosophy.
Film Threat

McAverey and his staff's love for the children comes through clearly.
