London Evening Standard
August 26, 2018 File this under missed opportunity. More often than not, it feels like a pretentious episode of Holby City. Or a shallow take on John Huston's The Dead.

Film Inquiry
September 07, 2018 he Children Act works strongest as a tight character study of the central female figure, elevated to higher ground by the astonishing lead performance.

September 13, 2017 If Emma Thompson can't make this drama about a family-court judge conflicted over her own decisions and the precarious state of her own family into something interesting and meaningful, then no one can. And she can't.

The Mail on Sunday (UK)
August 27, 2018 What makes it not just a feature film but a feature film worth catching (if you're in a cerebral frame of mind) is the quality of Thompson's performance.

September 09, 2018 The melodrama is piled on during the final act to an unbearable degree with material not even Emma Thompson can save.
