What the critics say average 6.7 from 5
- 8.0 VarietyPeter Debruge
"The entire film hinges on how deeply felt [Thompson's] performance comes across."
Read - 7.5 IndiewireDavid Ehrlick
"No matter how iffy the story gets, or how clinical Eyre?s direction becomes, Thompson makes it absolutely heartrending to watch Fiona?s veneer crack one line at a time."
Read - 7.0 The Hollywood ReporterStephen Farber
"The two central performances could hardly be better."
Read - 6.0 The GuardianPeter Bradshaw
"'The Children Act' is concerned with love, intimacy and moral responsibility and it is refreshing to see a movie which sets itself standards of this sort. But there is also something a little too neat in the way all these things are wrapped up. Emma Thompson?s performance, so elegant and vulnerable, carries the picture."
Read - 5.0 The WrapAlonso Duralde
"If Emma Thompson can?t make 'The Children Act' into something interesting and meaningful, then no one can. And she can't. "
