This film tells the story of a foster mother with many foster children, around the time of riots in 1991.
With two A List stars, one would expect this film to be good. As it turned out, I am left hugely disappointed. The film features constant screaming children, screaming adults and screaming everyone. There is not a time when characters aren't screaming. That alone turns me off the film completely. The story is not really going anywhere either.

I cannot believe that Halle Berry and Daniel Craig have put their name to this movie. I thought that it would have been a great story but it just rambles on about nothing with a few original news items thrown in just to remind what is happening. I would give this a start rating of 2 and would be one of the mob=vies to avoid this year.
I have never written a bad review before but just felt compelled to pen this one.

The movie was all over the place. No character development, why was Hallie Berry with nine or ten various kids, oh I get fostering. Nothing explained. And I think her and Craig did the movie for free. Spike Lee would put it together better. You have to live the life before you can make film about South Central. Where I grew up. South central was
worse than the film but it was a jumbled mess.
There is way too much foreplay to this movie. The actual story starts with a dramatic shooting seven weeks before the riots, then switches to an overburdened mother and her cantankerous neighbour, as well a feisty homeless girl (whom soon attracts the attention of two grown boys living with the mother). I felt there was more attention paid to the story of the homeless girl than the Halle Berry story. The problem with the movie is that this long distance of time and the parallel story lines creates a lack of focus. There is also a constant diversion to the unravelling of the times on the ever-present TV which lead to the fateful night of the riots. I appreciate the ticking time bomb intention. It all seems over-long, over-complicated and thus under-committed. If the story had just followed the mother I feel we could have had a more powerful movie. She has numerous kids, all with charm, and an action-packed story of her own. Once you realise the plot you'll quickly realise that her tale has all the impact needed to bring together all the elements of horror of that fateful day and night. I also believe more attention could have been paid to the riots and looting itself. It was a cheap shot to constantly have to follow that on grainy pre-digital tv images instead of something weightier produced by Hollywood itself. Too often we see this in movies these days. A great movie concept, but the vision is marred by wanting to show too much in too little time. I appreciate how hard that must be, but the means to the end needs to be entertaining, and despite the quality of some of the performances here and the originality and cuteness of some of the story ideas, I felt that that very cuteness ran counter to the seriousness of the parallel story (the homeless girl) and was too much on the plate. Something needed to go, or something needed to be handled differently. It's still a good movie for all that, and definitely an honest salute to those affected by the riots themselves, and Halle Berry's terrific performance will certainly make the effort worth the while.
Very dramatic and fake acting nonsensical things happen, not realistic. Some scenes were so wtf and cringe. Bad directing. If it had a different director and fixed the script a little bit it would reach 9. But for now it's a 4.

- TriviaDeniz Gamze Ergüven completed this script around 2011, and intended for it to be her feature film debut, however she was unable to get financing for her project. A friend suggested she try a smaller, more intimate film, which became Mustang: belleza salvaje (2015), an Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language Film. The considerable attention gained from that film allowed her to finally get this film off the ground.
