Critic Reviews for Casa de los Babys
All Critics (106) | Top Critics (33) | Fresh (61) | Rotten (45) | DVD (3)
Each woman is a cardboard cutout, and the talented actresses here seem boxed in by their roles.
A raw slice of life that goes beyond the obvious external issues.
A jumble of ideas and stunning performances that never coalesce into a satisfying movie.
It is a story without a story, helpless and wandering, enjoyable for its parts but failing as a whole.
If most of the characters seem underdeveloped, they are also convincing and interesting.
Sayles is the ultimate "on the other hand" guy, which may make for more thoughtful understanding but which is difficult to translate to film, a medium better suited to the dynamic, the opinionated, and the one-sided.
Audience Reviews for Casa de los Babys
I don't particularly care for loose-end-endings in which there are certain plotlines left with no resolutions. That is my only qualm with this gem... it was a very important piece of art about the agony of infertility, the clashing of very different cultures but also the similarities between them, and about the love of family.
