An easy movie to pick apart, but it lives, breathes and switches moods from humor to despair better than any American release this year.Full Review

Now Singleton, too, dares to take a hard look at his community. His characters are a little older, and he is older, too, and less forgiving.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Jody's story is told with so much heart -- and his character is acted with such a winning combination of playfulness, vulnerability and sexual dynamism by Mr. Gibson -- that you can forgive the occasionally incoherent storytelling, the overwrought moments and the haphazard, unconvincing excursions into dream and fantasy.Full Review

Dana Stevens
The New York Times

Lacks the cumulative impact of "Boyz," since Singleton allows repetition and sermonizing to dull his theme about the infantilization of black males. But Baby Boy leaves you shaken.Full Review

Peter Travers
Rolling Stone

What holds the movie together, however, is Gibson's broodingly responsive performance.Full Review
