      Audience Member a hard hitting look at the difficulties of broken homes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Feels very real. A film of the effects of divorce on three children as well as the two fathers from failed marriages with the one mother. The two fathers and Winnie had the best performances i thought. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Very realistic and interesting. It develops a documentary approach halfway through that's a little distracting, but above all it is a good film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      V.A. Musetto New York Post Hard-hitting and biting. Rated: 3/4 Dec 26, 2003 Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman New York Daily News A powerful drama that turns a common event -- the rending of a family -- into an intimate, personal affair. Rated: 3/4 Dec 26, 2003 Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times Geoffrey Enthoven's dour little pseudo-documentary explores the effect of divorce on three children. Rated: 2/5 Dec 23, 2003 Full Review Joshua Tanzer Offoffoff A disconcerting faux-documentary that nonetheless offers some subtle truths about growing up with divorced parents. Rated: 3/4 Dec 31, 2003 Full Review Maria Garcia Film Journal International An unforgettable testament to children whom the adults ostensibly despair of but are incapable of seeing. Dec 27, 2003 Full Review Ken Fox TV Guide The acting ... is strong, and there are several moments of painful truth -- the wordless weekend hand-overs are well done and difficult to watch. Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 26, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews
