"3 Generations" starts with a unique and intimate point of view, only to become yet another indie drama about the difficulties of motherhood.

"3 Generations" feels focus-grouped into existence, like its every development was fine-tuned to be as inoffensively on-message as possible in its treatment of trans issues.
May 11, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… -
3 Generations is contrived, but the heartfelt performances keep the threadbare material on track-witty, warm and wise.
May 11, 2017 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review… -
This is a movie that derives most of its suspense on whether a piece of paper will be signed, not a strong basis for dramatic tension.

3 Generations is well-intended and heart-warming, but a mess, and problematic besides.

If you can look past the sitcom humor, that late-in-the-game melodrama and the usual cliche about the mature child in a family of immature adults, "3 Generations" does a few important things.

In the hands of a more capable filmmaker, 3 Generations could be a challenging, prismatic view of the gender identity discussion. Instead, it's a sloppy waste of time.
July 17, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review… -
Even if it feels quite confusing in its genre, the drama tends to unfold pretty well. A third act that should never have existed. [Full review in Spanish].
