CRITICS OF "A Kid Like Jake"

One Guy's Opinion

Its heart is obviously in the right place. But good intentions are not enough to make for a good film.

June 07, 2018

Resource

San Francisco Chronicle

Some of this material is too sensitive, granted, to have a very young actor play it. But "Jake" goes too far the other way, giving us only glimpses of the boy, who emerges as more of a symbol than a real child.

Washington City Paper

Mostly the light touch is refreshing, an approach that says the issue is just another one of many that must be weighed when raising a child.

TheWrap

Feels more like playwriting than like screenwriting because we are told things in dialogue about Jake but barely ever get to see him behaving -- doesn't it signal the same kind of avoidance or fear that the movie itself is supposed to be about?

Common Sense Media

Talky, underwhelming drama addresses kid gender identity.

Brightest Young Things

It does not justify the jump from stage to screen.

The Young Folks

This film will be a conversation starter for those that watch it, challenging the notion of gender roles and our culpability in reinforcing them.

We Live Entertainment

Beautiful in its authenticity and honesty in portraying Jake and the struggles his parents are facing.

"A Kid Like Jake" tackles the tricky topic of gender dysphoria with sensitivity and grace.

June 01, 2018

Resource

Arizona Republic

The movie's premise sounds like it should be the basis for a barbed satire of the finest proportions. Instead, it opts for a tone that is decidedly sober and lacking any kind of sharp edge.

June 14, 2018

Resource

Washington Post

It's like the Alex-and-Greg of woke-era problem pictures: bright, earnest and compassionate, if maybe just a little too much in its own head.

June 13, 2018

Slate

An authentic, conversational messiness we rarely see on screen.
