“A wonderfully made film, the subject matter not so much. You really feel a sense of empathy and remorse for both Tobias 'Jack' Wolff, and his Mother all throughout this film; even during the opening scene from Jack's VoiceOver which details why they're moving.

"29.5, PC Hyvät roolisuoritukset De Nirolta vittumaisena isäpuolena ja DiCaapriolta kasvukipuisena poitsuna. Myös tässä filmissä häiritsi jonkun verran kertojaäänet ja muut ysärin Hollywood-elokuvalle tyypilliset piirteet, vaikka elokuva itsessään on ihan toimivaa draamaa."
