Pluskylang Great Film overall
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
wigginsfamily Adoption, even in its most perfect form, is rooted in a painful decision. For the biological mother the painful choice to give up a child and for the adoptee the pain of knowing someone gave you away. The process of reunion can be tricky. The pain of the adoption is often buried beneath decades of secrets, lies, and shame. The Tucker family does a superb job of showing the loving nature of adoption and the complex process of reunion. The pain that is inherent with adoption never goes away, but reunion can provide closure. CLOSURE is as close as one can get to going through the adoption reunion process without going through it yourself. Bravo Tuckers!
hellolori I watched it twice. First, after a long night of insomnia. Second, 2 days later w my husband, who thanked me afterward for sharing the movie w him. Every part of this documentary keeps you riveted to the screen and we loved sharing the journey. I've always said that the BEST documentary I have ever watched (my brother and hubby agree) is the one about John Walsh from America's Most Wanted. My brother and I held hands through parts of it, crying and saluting his courage and bravery. But, now I have 2 favorite documentaries and am thankful for it. BRAVO Bryan and Angela and super big hugs to their (now) super big family! Oh, we downloaded 4 songs from the movie. Yes, very well done, indeed!
gavin6942 A trans-racial adoptee finds her birth mother, and meets the rest of a family who did not know she existed, including her birth father. A story about identity, the complexities of trans-racial adoption, and most importantly, closure.Although I cannot say the topic of adoption is particularly interesting to me, the topic of roots is. Family history is important, at least to me, and this film combined both. It talked of the adopting parents, the biological family, the other kids in the home. It had that element of mixed race (though, like the mother said, the kids are just "people" and not a certain race beyond "human").For those who have adopted or were adopted, this probably has even deeper meaning and emotional impact. Great work.
Girls Flying Solo This is an excellent documentary on adoption. It's rare to see all perspectives sensitively handled this way - the adoptive parents, biological parents, and most importantly, the adopted child herself (now an adult). Not to give anything away, but it took a lot of courage on all sides to allow a lot of what's seen in this film, as it's perspective we rarely see, particularly with trans-racial adoptions. It's easy for people to make negative assumptions and value judgments when they see racially blended families, as unfortunately, things don't always turn out well culturally. But, again, without giving anything away, this film, is so refreshingly honest that I was deeply moved. I Highly recommend it!
