Reception
[edit | edit source]On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 100% of 9 critics' reviews are positive.[4]
At Film Threat, Allan Ng gave it a 7.5/10 rating saying that the film "explores what it means to be a family from the perspective of an outsider desperately wanting to find the truth."[5] At Common Sense Media, Jeffrey M. Anderson gave it a 3/5 rating saying that "frequently feeling a bit shallow or underwritten (and sometimes even exasperating), this drama is nonetheless held together by its undeniable earnestness and poignant lead performance."[1]
Prairie Miller of WBAI Radio said that "suffice it to say, that whatever conventional circumstances exist in the real world concerning lost and found children, best to enter this tale of somewhat biblical proportions as suggested in the title, with an extraordinarily open mind."[8]
