SOMEWHERE BETWEEN tells the intimate stories of four teenaged girls. They live in different parts of the US, in different kinds of families and are united by one thing: all four were adopted from China because all four had birth parents who could not keep them, due to personal circumstances colliding with China's "One Child Policy".

SOMEWHERE BETWEEN tells the intimate stories of four teenaged girls. They live in different parts of the US, in different kinds of families and are united by one thing: all four were adopted from China because all four had birth parents who could not keep them, due to personal circumstances colliding with China's "One Child Policy". These strong young women allow us to grasp what it is like to come-of-age in today's America as trans-racial adoptees. At the same time, we see them as typical American teenagers doing what teenagers everywhere do...struggling to make sense of their lives. Through these young women, and their explorations of who they are, we ourselves pause to consider who we are - both as individuals and as a nation of immigrants. Identity, racism, and gender...these far-reaching issues are explored in the documentary. And with great honesty and courage, these four girls open their hearts to experience love, compassion, and self-acceptance.

Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by David LewisA play-it-safe, by-the-numbers kind of documentary - yet somehow it gets under your skin.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Janice PageKnowlton has landed on four stories that deserve to be told, and she's told them in a straightforward way that gets the job done, with obvious dedication and love.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertA three-year labor of love from a mother for her daughter. It is a touching movie that, at first, might seem like a public service announcement, but eventually takes us into some touching personal struggles.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Kenneth TuranYou'd have to be a stone not to be moved.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisSomewhere Between presents an effortlessly moving but superficial profile of four bright Chinese girls and their adoptive American families.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by John DeForeAdoptees themselves almost certainly will find Somewhere Between an empowering reminder that tens of thousands of kids have walked this path before.
Time Out - 6/10 by Eric HynesThe film is overcrowded with story lines and short on thrust, but fortunately, its protagonists carry the day with their candor and precocious poise.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Joe NeumaierAs this strong, moving documentary shows, for those who came to the U.S., reconnecting to their culture and blood relatives can result in a generation of young people who feel "somewhere between" Chinese and American. They're never fully one or the other, but in the best cases can feel part of both.
Slant Magazine - 6/10 by Kalvin HenelyFor what often feels like an obligatory "Where Are They Now?" DVD extra, the documentary is surprisingly affecting.
Village Voice - 5/10 by Simon AbramsKnowlton never delves far enough into her subjects' stories for Somewhere Between to feel more nuanced than, say, a good commercial for international child-adoption services.
