Love Child Ratings & Reviews
Orca Sound
Carey-Ann Pawsey
Director Eva Mulvad follows the family everywhere and over the course of years. Her camera captures all from video chats with friends at home to Mani having a meltdown.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
Documents the highs and lows of a couple trying to start a new life in a 'safe' country.
Big Apple Reviews
Harvey S. Karten
A documentary with all the tensions of a narrative drama, a compelling story of a couple's escape from Iran with their love child.
World Socialist Web Site
Joanne Laurier
Gracefully and artistically constructed, Mulvad's film is an intimate, complicated portrait of a family harassed by the Iranian, Turkish and UN authorities, as well as by inhuman European and American immigration policies.
Film Inquiry
Musanna Ahmed
Love Child is an inherently touching story that adds a poignant dimension to the refugee story with the theme of survivor's guilt. Every story is unique and every one of them is vital.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Documentaries can be as narratively driven as any fiction feature, as "Love Child" proves in entirely engrossing fashion.
IndieWire
Kate Erbland
One of the most absorbing dramas of the year.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
Thanks to Eva Mulvad and her dedicated fellow filmmakers, Love Child is a testament, in all its observational glory, to the triumph of the best of our common humanity.
Pajiba
Roxana Hadadi
Eva Mulvad is given unfettered access to Sahand and Leila for Love Child, and that closeness helps viewers understand the myriad ways the family is being pushed and pulled.
Nonfics (Substack)
Jordan M. Smith
A complex and deeply moving tale that speaks to our times and, most thankfully, our heart.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
We're so quick to pigeonhole people into ready-made categories for mass consumption and vilification that a personal account of their struggle like this proves invaluable.
