Leave your thoughts about A Kid Like Jake.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekIts heart is obviously in the right place. But good intentions are not enough to make for a good film. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferCaptivating, wise and emotionally engrossing with just the right balance of Truth and Spectacle. Claire Danes gives one of the best performances of her career. |
| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohThere are some very impressive acting moments in this investigation into the parenting of a special child, but the dramatic payoff comes too late, after a lot of enervating palaver. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeAffecting and immersive, A Kid Like Jake tells its tale in a way that anyone who's raised a child will be able to relate to. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonA movie as generous and as nonjudgmental as its protagonists, as frustrated yet as gently questing as they are. Claire Danes and Jim Parsons are extraordinary. |
| Film ThreatAlan NgA Kid Like Jake works because of the incredible performances of Claire Danes and Jim Parsons and the insightful writing of Daniel Pearle. |
| TheWrapDan CallahanThe writing in A Kid Like Jake feels more like playwriting than like screenwriting because we are told things in dialogue about Jake but barely ever get to see him behaving. |
| New York Magazine/VultureEmily YoshidaIt’s remarkable how engaging and light on its feet the director and cast are able to keep this subject matter, how much permission he gives them to f*ck up and try again. |
| Village VoiceKristen Yoonsoo KimHoward, who is trans himself, approaches the film with sensitivity, but it ends up feeling like a conversation to be continued, not resolved. At least there’s some classic Claire Danes crying. |
| Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonA daring little drama with a heavyweight cast, a gracefully delivered message and a hellish problem — specifically, other people. |
