- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The material is emotionally wrenching, but the actors play sociopolitical totems more than flesh-and-blood characters."
-
"This drama about interracial adoption is serious and affecting, thanks in large part to the presence of its two magnetic stars."
-
"This is an absorbing and involving picture, but the terms propounded here limit the story, which depends almost entirely on emotions rather than on thought."
-
"'Losing Isaiah' transcends the custody issue and finds drama in the black-white polarities that neither character can escape."
-
"Thought-provoking and dramatically-solid."
