Kevin Maher 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. Rated: 3/5 May 31, 2019 Full Review Phil Hoad Guardian A welcome look at a vital and underappreciated duty of state. Rated: 3/5 May 29, 2019 Full Review Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter Intelligently observed and backed by a strong cast... Dec 8, 2018 Full Review Yasser Medina 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 Jul 31, 2020 Full Review Alex Heeney Seventh Row Jeanne Henry's Pupille (In Safe Hands) offers a look inside the adoption system through the lens of multiple stakeholders, bringing humanity to an often invisible system. Jan 13, 2020 Full Review Ezequiel Boetti Otroscines.com An emotive and genuine film that despite some forced situations, triumphs.
