Critic Reviews

Leslie Camhi

Chillingly naturalistic. Read full review

Lisa Nesselson

The daunting logistics and emotional juggling act of child custody and visitation rights post-divorce are examined via spot-on acting and deft helming in docu-styled Children of Love. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Hard-hitting and biting. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

A powerful drama that turns a common event -- the rending of a family -- into an intimate, personal affair. Read full review

Frank Scheck

First conceived as a documentary, this debut feature from Geoffrey Enthoven betrays its origins via its naturalistic, raw style and occasionally suffers from aimlessness and poor pacing. Read full review

Stephen Holden

Leaves a sour aftertaste since it's obvious that the filmmaker's intrusion on these unhappy people, fictional or not, only further worsens their discomfort and their difficulty communicating. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

In the end it appears that the problem is less divorce per se than immature and deeply selfish parents who should never have had children in the first place. Read full review
