	Media	Author	Review
		Kate Erbland IndieWire	"One of the most absorbing dramas of the year (...) At times, it feels almost too intimate, the emotions and stakes too high to just sit idly by and watch"
		Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"'Love Child's best feature is Mulvad’s choice to never interject herself into their lives. The camera is a fly on the wall capturing good times and bad with a wholly objective eye"
		Carlota Moseguí Cineuropa	"A remarkable work (...) An exercise in honesty and realism"
		Guy Lodge Variety	"[It] is remarkable for its intimate, extended access, its subtle political acuity and its personal window into a global crisis. But it’s first and foremost a feat of captivating storytelling"
		Chris Waywell Time Out	"The great achievement of 'Love Child' is to always present the faceless and grotesque within a domestic context (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Cath Clarke The Guardian	"Here’s a documentary that gives off warmth like a radiator, generating huge amounts of empathy (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
