3 Generations Ratings & Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
Takes on the topic of gender dysphoria with a talented cast but not much to say.
Observer
Rex Reed
3 Generations is contrived, but the heartfelt performances keep the threadbare material on track-witty, warm and wise.
Washington Post
Alan Zilberman
"3 Generations" starts with a unique and intimate point of view, only to become yet another indie drama about the difficulties of motherhood.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
"3 Generations" feels focus-grouped into existence, like its every development was fine-tuned to be as inoffensively on-message as possible in its treatment of trans issues.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
This is a movie that derives most of its suspense on whether a piece of paper will be signed, not a strong basis for dramatic tension.
Entertainment Weekly
Joe McGovern
[Dellal] way overcranks the "movie" neuroses of her three characters, muffling any human spark.
AV Club
Jesse Hassenger
It spends 92 Weinstein-approved minutes on the verge of telling a compelling story, and winds up stalling out telling a worthwhile one.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
The main character is too often pushed to the sidelines so that the filmmakers can indulge tired family-drama tropes.
Autostraddle
Mey Rude
It seems like [Gaby] Dellal, despite being a person who is making a movie about a transgender boy, doesn't understand that transgender boys aren't girls.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
3 Generations is well-intended and heart-warming, but a mess, and problematic besides.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Emily Yoshida
In the end, 3 Generations wants to to be about trans issues more than it really wants to live in them.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Another bloodless example of Hollywood's cowardice in grappling with the world as it is. 3 Generations doesn't cut deep into the torn-from-the-headlines issue of trans rights. In fact, it doesn't cut at all.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
When this well-acted picture calms down and focuses on real emotions, it proves a poignant, absorbing look at a modern family.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
Good intentions abound in "3 Generations," a movie about a New York teenager transitioning from female to male, but they lead to a certain overzealousness.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
Yet another film where non-trans people learn valuable life lessons, complete with lots of hugs, while the actual trans character's story takes a backseat.
RogerEbert.com
Susan Wloszczyna
After her character's trans cred is fully established, Fanning is pushed into the background and About Ray starts to feel like a bad Neil Simon comedy.
Variety
Andrew Barker
Dellal's likably chaotic direction and a bevy of solid performances make sure the film's beating heart outweighs most of its contrivances.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
It's involving but seldom deeply affecting, with the core drama continually shoved aside to examine more commonplace matters of parenting, abandonment and broken families.
Spectrum Culture
Dominic Griffin
In the hands of a more capable filmmaker, 3 Generations could be a challenging, prismatic view of the gender identity discussion. Instead, it's a sloppy waste of time.
Cinemacy
Morgan Rojas
Technical flaws aside, the biggest disservice of "3 Generations" is the missed opportunity to have an actual transgender actor play the part of Ray, or at the very least a more anonymous actor.
