Critic Reviews

Sayles handles this material with gentle delicacy, as if aware that the issues are too fraught to be approached with simple messages.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Babys is intellectually stimulating and emotionally stirring, a rare combination these days, though hardly unusual for writer/director John Sayles.Full Review

Claudia Puig
USA Today

Sayles seems to be trying, single-handedly, to correct centuries of First World self-centeredness in Third World contexts.Full Review

Wesley Morris
Boston Globe

If Casa de los Babys isn't necessarily a fully realized film, it's still a deeply felt glimpse into dizzyingly complex political and psychological forces that shape the most crucial decisions of a woman's life.Full Review

Ann Hornaday
Washington Post

Some of the pieces in its jigsaw puzzle are too fragmentary, and there's a sense of racing against time to fill in the blanks. Yet the movie's even-handed portrayal of two cultures uneasily transacting the most personal business resonates with truth.Full Review
