Leave your thoughts about Family Law.
| Upstage MagazineKam WilliamsA deceptively delightful meditation on the meaning of life. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxWriter-director Daniel Burman's dryly humorous, poker-faced comedic style is once again in full play in this funny and touching film about a young Argentine man and his aging father, both of whom happen to be lawyers. |
| About.comMarcy DermanskyLike Lost Embrace, Family Law is funny and moving--a more mature, deceptively simple exploration of how to live. |
| San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinIt's a serious subject handled with humor -- not the ha-ha kind, but the hard laughter that comes from recognizing parts of yourself in the Perelmans. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanBurman tends to focus very tightly on the details of individual identity - religion, nationality, gender. It is all the more striking, then, that his restrained and unassuming films are wise enough to speak to every adult. |
| KPBS.orgBeth AccomandoFamily Law has a sweet sense of how families try to interact and connect... There's nothing big about this film but it's filled with small joys and insights. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonAn engaging and humorous look at the father and son in all men. Very much worth the watching. |
| Uruguay TotalEnrique BuchichioUna película sensible y disfrutable sobre las relaciones entre padres e hijos y la construcción de una individualidad, a pesar de las semejanzas. |
| Chicago ReaderReece PendletonEngaging and well acted, the film is admirably low-key, yet Burman's relaxed approach becomes a liability--everything goes down smoothly but leaves one hungry for something more substantial. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonThis is a comedy made for people who think, who like smart talk and who, like the Perelmans, know the score. |
