- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality and Practice
- Excerpt: A towering performance by Emma Thompson as a British high court judge confronted by a complicated case and her own domestic challenges.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: the adaptation sings under the direction of Richard Eyre (“Stage Beauty,” “Notes on a Scandal”), its themes more evident in the hands of a never better Thompson and the astonishing Whitehead, who beautifully captures the ethereal complexity of Adam Henry.

- Alan Mattli @ Facing the Bitter Truth
- Excerpt: Director Warwick Thornton’s outback morality tale, Sweet Country, combines exquisite visuals of Australian landscapes with a script that dabbles as much in mythical justice as deeply specific ideas of what this country is made of. With superbly crafted performances, Sweet Country is an essential Australian Western.
- Eddie Pasa @ DC Filmdom
- Excerpt: Although THE CHILDREN ACT feels like a feature-length expansion of a story from LOVE ACTUALLY, the performances – especially from Emma Thompson – make every minute worth it.
- Betty Jo Tucker @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
- Excerpt: As the judge, Emma Thompson soars, but too many things are thrown into the plot — and that makes it hard to follow.
