This was an excellent movie! It is not for people who crave action. IMO the explicit sex scenes were unnecessary.

Maybe you hAD TO HAVE BEEN THERE TO Appreciate this movie. As the mother of an adopted daughter who today herself is a mother, the weaving... ofg this story struck every possible real-life challenge and reward for all parties in the adoption triad: mother, child and adoptive parents. Each role was sensitively played and several moments were searing. Full Review

Mother and Child is as tangled as the emotions that link parents and children.Full Review
Claudia Puig
USA Today
Garcia shoots Mother And Child with minimal flare, an approach that keeps the focus squarely on the cast, whose moving work helps pave over some of the narrative’s lumpier patches.Full Review

The Onion (A.V. Club)
Still, the goodwill lingers, even though Mother and Child falls down, dies and is beginning to look a little green and stiff about 15 minutes before the finish line.Full Review
