Critics' reviews

"Cumming is the linchpin, and the actor does an exceptional job of moving across the vast galaxy of universal emotions about partners and parenthood"

Betsy Sharkey: Los Angeles Times
"A stellar performance by Alan Cumming as the cross-dressing crooner-cum-caretaker is the picture's most marketable asset."

Boyd van Hoeij: Variety
"Depictions of custody battles have become a cinematic staple, but few register with the heartfelt emotion of 'Any Day Now.'"

Frank Scheck: The Hollywood Reporter
"Cumming and Dillahunt are so terrific - as is Isaac Leyva as their ward - that they pull Any Day Now up from its more maudlin and melodramatic elements."

Noel Murray: AV Club
"The biggest strength of the movie is the chemistry between Cumming and Isaac Leyva, a first-time feature film actor with Down syndrome"

Peter Hartlaub: SFgate
"An outraged, unblinking depiction of institutionalized homophobia three decades ago, when the prevailing court opinion in adoption cases was that exposing a child to a homosexual environment was harmful"

Stephen Holden: The New York Times
