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?

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.

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

Talky, underwhelming drama addresses kid gender identity.

It does not justify the jump from stage to screen.

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

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.

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

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.

Beautiful in its authenticity and honesty in portraying Jake and the struggles his parents are facing.
June 04, 2018
An authentic, conversational messiness we rarely see on screen.
June 14, 2018
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.
