Adoption Movie Review

Adoption focuses on a pair of women, one 42, one 17, both of whom are entrapped and want to free themselves. In their struggle to make new beginnings, they lend each other support and friendship, and the script makes it clear that this is not the sort of encouragement men are capable of giving. Sensitively directed and photographed, Adoption emerges as a story of strong hope, with realistic performances giving it tenderness and integrity. AKA: Orkobefogadas.
