Leave your thoughts about October Baby.
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittIt's neither entertaining nor thought provoking. |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusAvoids the outright preachiness of the Sherwood Productions films … certainly a good-looking film … too much tell and not enough show. |
| Village VoiceMichelle OrangeA slick piece of pro-life propaganda, it has relatively luxe production values, painfully earnest performances, and a drippy "inspirational" score. |
| ReviewExpress.comDiana SaengerAn entertaining and relevant faith-based movie. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookSometimes it is simply impossible for me to look at a movie with complete objectivity. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip MartinWhile it's better than most movies of its kind, it's still pretty weak entertainment, though choir members should feel free to sing its praises. Amen. |
| Detroit NewsTom Long"October Baby" doesn't even meet the standards of decent propaganda. It is, in fact, indecent propaganda. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfSloppily gums the subject of abortion, never discovering truth or feeling. It's all forgiveness and climactic smiles, missing a great opportunity to bring a direct point of view forward worth some honest post-screening conversation. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinA film whose poignancy is hard to deny whatever side of the abortion debate you fall on. |
| Tri-City HeraldGary WolcottA couple of scenes - especially one with a cop with a heart - are touching. Depending on your point of view, October Baby does manage to score more than a few points. |
