Times (UK)

Although the dramatic moments are smartly handled, it's hard not to feel that, underneath the elaborate fictional format, there's a straight documentary desperate to escape.

Cinefilia

The intentions of his film are openly sincere, didactic, but I get the impression that a light layer of propaganda weighs down on the issues it addresses about the adoption process, child care, and the meaning of motherhood. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 5/10
