| RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoThe filmmakers never lose sight of the human beings looking for answers to impossible questions. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileyThe Family I Had sensitively and emotionally engages with the enormity and complexity of this situation, which transcends true crime and approaches Greek tragedy, and it just plain knocks the wind out of you. |
