[A] moving and illuminating documentary...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 18, 2023
Heartbreaking as this story is, the picture’s peppy energy results in a film that is celebratory and defiantly upbeat.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 17, 2023
At all events, this is a sympathetic and very contemporary study.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 12, 2023
Every Body’s existence is what matters at the end of the day, and hopefully it encourages the creation of more films like it.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 17, 2023

Joy. That’s what I felt while watching Every Body. Joy.

Julie Cohen’s “Every Body” is a master class in how a documentary should be done.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 7, 2023
With a zippy soundtrack and breezy editing style, Every Body comes off as an up-to-date declaration that being intersex is something to be celebrated. In the end, we can’t help but share in the enthusiasm.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Jul 1, 2023
Intersex identity is subject enough for one film, and this one covers an astonishing amount of ground in 92 minutes’ time. In the end, it’s for the best that “Every Body” doesn’t set out to be everything to everybody.

The film benefits from its choice of subjects, as Wall, Gallo and Weigel are all endearing and deeply informed. Their candor animates the unimaginative talking head interview footage from the director Julie Cohen.

It’s heartbreaking at times, but it’s also uplifting -- the three subjects are fierce advocates and activists, and Cohen’s empathetic storytelling makes it a personal journey. It’s also often entertaining, because the three are so expressive and engaging.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 29, 2023
A beautiful and cathartic celebration of intersexuality -- and should be mandatory viewing for people of all genders.
| Original Score: A- | Jun 29, 2023
The term “intersex” is one many are unfamiliar with. Hopefully, director Julie Cohen’s sensitive and graceful work -- deftly weaving hope and some joy, too, into its sobering lesson -- will help change that.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 29, 2023
A radical text, a crucial component in our evolving understanding of gender, and an important representation of the intersex experience.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 29, 2023
Lucid and at times powerful argument...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 28, 2023
Julie Cohen’s artful documentary... looks at the intersex community through the lives of three spokespeople and activists.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 28, 2023
One of the most important documentaries of the year, a game changer that enlightens...
| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 28, 2023
Engaging and informative.

A moving, fascinating look at a too-often-ignored subset of the world's population, filled with empathy and understanding.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 12, 2023
“Every Body” is a must-watch for anyone from a marginalized community or anyone looking at the current political landscape we’re in.
