My Sister's Keeper

“The movie never says so, but it's a practical parable about the debate between pro-choice and pro-life. If you're pro-life, you would require Anna to donate her kidney, although there is a chance she could die, and her sister doesn't have a good prognosis. If you're pro-choice, you would support Anna's lawsuit.”

“The strength of the acting and the modulation of the screenplay transforms what could have been a run-of-the-mill Lifetime disease-of-the-week movie into something more insightful and intelligent.”

James Berardinelli, ReelViews · 88

“For all its awkward structure, the film is heartfelt and deeply affecting.”

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal · 80

“A high-class weepie for adults who disdain the lower forms of four-hankiedom.”

“If you're going to make a weepy, there's no reason you can't make it with intelligence and insight as the makers of My Sister's Keeper have done.”
