Overwhelming grief threatens to tear a man (Leland Orser) and his wife (Jeanne Tripplehorn) apart as they try to come to grips with the loss of their child.

Joe Leydon

Variety

An initially intriguing but ultimately exhausting tale of grieving parents left quite literally dazed and confused in the wake of their young son's death.

San Francisco Chronicle

Orser, to his credit, never resorts to psychobabble, cheap sentiment or emotional shortcuts.

Rated: 3/4

It often seems like an acting workshop: Behave as if you are the parent of a dead child.

Rated: 1.5/4

It's Just Movies

Too much of the same emotion and too little back-story doom this movie to tedium.

Rated: 6/10

It's a difficult sit, and not nearly as moving as it should be, with its central idea of lost communication buried under layers of artificiality, damming the mournful flow.

Rated: C

Paste Magazine

Though mourning is a part of the human cycle, Morning is not an easy film to watch -- save for the great acting by the entire cast.

Rated: 7.3/10

The film is full of grief just like House Of Sand And Fog and What Dreams May Come. It was a fine film for those who don't always watch Disney films. Glad it wasn't more than 90 minutes based on the heavy content.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
