Reviews for this film from our members:

  • [New - 3/14] | Jim Dixon @ Examiner.com
    • Excerpt: Producing a documentary about the founder of an anonymous society poses certain unique challenges. “Bill W.” neither canonizes nor demonizes its subject. The approach is balanced and fair.
  • Bev Questad @ It’s Just Movies
    • Excerpt: This excellent doc is a well-researched, excellent bio of Bill Wilson, the man who co-founded Alcoholics Anonymous with Dr. Bob Smith in 1935 during the pit of The Great Depression. Yo-yo Ma provides the soundtrack.
  • Jamie S. Rich @ DVD Talk
