Reviews

Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
eefuni "Kids-R" is not a usual documentary picture. Easy to watch and immediately gripping by the plight of parents trying to adopt children, earnest sincere good people making a tremendous effort at a great cost to them to change, enrich and save lives of kids without parents, but facing an inhuman bureaucratic wall and sometimes viciously aggressive resistance... the film digs dipper and turns the tables on humanity juxtaposing the reality of modern day adoptions problems with the right of every human being to give birth without any regard to its mental, physical and financial state, without any control or supervision in spite of horrible drug habits, violent inclinations and pure greed of giving birth to more children simply to sell them or make money of them. It's a powerful documentary drama that teaches us something new, that makes us look at kids and parents in a very different light. A must see, a surprising story line of inimitable real life, a film that makes you cringe and cry. It should be a part of any school curriculum. A must see for everyone.
