Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online I really hate when bad movies happen to good people. Rated: D+ Mar 21, 2017 Full Review Nigel M. Smith Guardian A layered and delicately wrought entertainment. Rated: 4/5 Apr 18, 2016 Full Review Jason Best What's On TV It's all wildly contrived, but the classy and committed cast somehow make it work. Rated: 3/5 Dec 20, 2020 Full Review Maria Vultaggio International Business Times The movie is packed with complex characters from different ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. Feb 6, 2017 Full Review David D'Arcy Screen International Custody may feel long, but it's short by the standard of waiting times at Family Court. Apr 21, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The plot was a little all over the place. May watch again. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Joe K Excellent movie (especially for a Lifetime film). Explores difficult topics with a lot of heart and nuance by forgoing the typical "blatant hero vs. blantent villain" formula Lifetime is known for. Characters speak and act in a natural and underplayed way that adds a layer of realism that keeps the viewer engaged. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Steve D Too much is going on and none of it developed. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Audience Member One of the better Lifetime movies with quality actors and a moving story. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Movie is well-made film, tight and intense. The theme is somehow ordinary and predictable. Just watched it on boxxy software app. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible movie. I was excited that Viola Davis is in it, but it was very disappointing. There were way too many storylines that led to nowhere and were never resolved. The female attorney was played by Hayden, and she was a very unlikable character. She was frowning the entire movie. This movie was a total mess. It's like they ran out of time so they just threw in the only scenes they had time to film, and then just ended it. Waste of time, even for viola Davis fans. Definitely not her best work. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
