Critic Reviews of "Losing Isaiah"
VarietySeptember 03, 2008The material is emotionally wrenching, but the actors play sociopolitical totems more than flesh-and-blood characters.
Chicago ReaderSeptember 03, 2008This is an absorbing and involving picture, but the terms propounded here limit the story, which depends almost entirely on emotions rather than on thought.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003This drama about interracial adoption is serious and affecting, thanks in large part to the presence of its two magnetic stars.
San Francisco ChronicleJune 18, 2002Losing Isaiah transcends the custody issue and finds drama in the black-white polarities that neither character can escape.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000While the subject may be controversial enough to merit an Oprah free-for-all, this evenhanded melodrama is neutral to a fault.
TV GuideSeptember 03, 2008Despite the fine leads and some well-crafted scenes, Losing Isaiah is apt to make viewers angry and frustrated no matter where they stand on the issues.
Palo Alto WeeklyMay 20, 2003TV movies get no worse than this.
MovieholeApril 27, 2003Lange is outstanding...very rewarding
Spirituality and PracticeAugust 30, 2002Effectively dramatizes the clash of ideas and ideals in adoption cases.
MovielineJanuary 09, 2002Although Halle Berry makes a creditable effort to play against her glamorous image, she's no match for Lange.
Austin ChronicleJanuary 01, 2000It reminds us that life is seldom tidy, work is always left to be done. And the resolve of these good people to do that work swells the heart.
