Critic Reviews for Losing Isaiah
All Critics (29) | Top Critics (10) | Fresh (13) | Rotten (16) | DVD (2)
The material is emotionally wrenching, but the actors play sociopolitical totems more than flesh-and-blood characters.
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.
This drama about interracial adoption is serious and affecting, thanks in large part to the presence of its two magnetic stars.
Losing Isaiah transcends the custody issue and finds drama in the black-white polarities that neither character can escape.
Thought-provoking and dramatically-solid.
While the subject may be controversial enough to merit an Oprah free-for-all, this evenhanded melodrama is neutral to a fault.
Audience Reviews for Losing Isaiah
So sad! I cried a couple times. Very good acting and a great story.
Super Reviewer
A very sweet and touching movie. Extremely intense emotionally. I really didn't know who to root for... the adoptive mom or the real mom. I liked them both and felt for both.
Super Reviewer
Good film, great performance by Halle Berry.
