Audrey's Children can get formulaic and clunky in telling the true story of Dr. Audrey Evans, a diligent oncologist whose unorthodox ideas led to breakthroughs in medical treatments for cancer. However, this drama's performances and story are compelling.

Cinemalogue

Dormer’s committed portrayal helps fill in some contextual gaps in the film, which leans into Evans’ idealism yet doesn’t rely on cheap sentiment.

This movie was amazing! Such an important message and it's a shame it's not playing for a wider audience in theaters.

Between Minecraft, Superman previews, and the approach of King of Kings, for Easter content, is a ground-level story. Set in Philadelphia, Audrey Evans works within the male-dominated climate of Children's Hospital in Philadelphia to find methods to give children a greater chance to survive their cancer diagnoses. This movie is fun, it is extremely informative, looks great, and deals with the reality of gender discrimination and how time matters both against the human condition and in the face of hope. The issue I had with this film was because of its place, with bumpers for films like Minecraft and Superman, and its opposite, grounded nature. This film was so realistic that if children attended, there would be some harsh material related to medical diagnoses and children. Solid film.
