Sam Adams Slate 20h
The fact that de Araújo based the story on her own experience shouldn’t be what defines this accomplished and deeply thoughtful film, but it only increases the sense of awe that she so fully and fairly captures. Go to Full Review Peter Howell Toronto Star 1d
As the adults navigate the moral and legal fallout, Reeves anchors the film with a heartbreaking, remarkably mature performance that announces her as a major new talent. Go to Full Review Lou Thomas Time Out 4d
4/5
A difficult and, at times, harrowing watch about an important subject, de Araújo’s unflinching eye and great care has a tonal precision the gravity of the events shown warrant. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) 13h
2.5/5
Frustrating and formidably uncomfortable, Beth de Araujo presents a compelling portrait of the rippling effects of trauma but unfortunately spins wheels on repetitive characterizations, ultimately feeling a bit one dimensional and sometimes cliche... Go to Full Review Erik Anderson AwardsWatch 22h
B-
Knowing that the story is inspired by de Araújo’s own experience lends credence to some of Damien and Claire’s almost irrationally irresponsible parenting but their actions will have you reaching for child protective services... Go to Full Review Fred Topel United Press International 1d
It's important to show how stacked against doing the right thing the system is. This isn't to discourage people from coming forward, but to encourage the rest of society to support them. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
