A raft of fine actors -- including Amy Adams, Richard Jenkins, and Downton Abbey's Jessica Brown Findlay -- are wasted in a sour, callow family drama that mistakes constant yelling for emotional tension and fortune-cookie aphorisms for wisdom. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
A film like "Lullaby" should both enlighten and inspire debate. Instead, it feels simultaneously superficial and overbearing, albeit with a few moments that do indeed resonate. Go to Full Review
Stephen Holden New York Times Jun 12, 2014
The kind of manipulative, clich-infested hokum that alienates moviegoers by its insistence on hogging all the tears. Go to Full Review

This is one melancholic little ditty that has a few too many extra verses, a bit of overreach rendering it emotionally ineffective. Go to Full Review

Lullaby is the kind of film that's best described as a having been cobbled together from an indie scrapyard. Go to Full Review

You'll walk away feeling sombre and slightly downtrodden but, thanks to a handful of strong performances and a strong emotional core, the central debate will linger in your mind, which is exactly what "Lullaby" sets out to do. Go to Full Review

Harry W Sep 24, 2017 Talk about the filmmaking getting in the way of the story. Bad choices in music and camerawork throughout. And very mediocre performances from most of the cast, other than Jenkins. Disappointing because it felt like a better move was yelling to come out. See more
George R Apr 14, 2017 A sad story that is beautifully told. The family drama is crazy and the cast was perfect.
