It's a critique of an entire justice system told intimately through the eyes of one family, giving real bodies and feelings to the problems it probes. Go to Full Review Nancy DeWolf Smith Wall Street Journal 12/08/2014
[It] stands out as a brutally realistic portrayal of the powerlessness of the individual in the Communist state. But the juggernaut that drives this story with a force that will leave viewers reeling is Party-rule. Go to Full Review Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times 12/05/2014
Well acted, concisely written, expertly steeped in mood and message, the program... is lush and slow and passionately ambitious. Go to Full Review Matt Roush TV Guide 12/05/2014

Viewers expecting conventional Hollywood uplift and story structure will be put off by the way the miniseries unfolds, but the realistic approach has its own strengths. One Child is not only engrossing but also enlightening. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
