- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Michael Apted directed this fiery film, brilliantly layered scene-on-scene without a wasted frame"
-
"It might have worked if Apted were as adept at creating an emotional atmosphere as he is in his portraiture of the suburban milieu, but too many unshaped scenes and redundant dialogue passages take their toll."
-
"Despite its weaknesses, Firstborn is a movie that deals sensitively with the emotional trials of single-parent families. And it is one of the few that treats adolescents with respect."
-
"This flawed but interesting Freudian melodrama spends about 70 minutes making points and the last 30 minutes losing them."
