Lovely and understated

What another reviewer called lack of character development, I call understatement. The movie didn't bash one over the head with overexplanation or unnecessary backstory. Yes, there were many untold stories that we only got a glimpse of, but this was primarily a one-day snapshot into an event that catalyzed change in all of the characters' lives. Henry Thomas's performance was a really lovely study in the power of acting that focuses on reaction rather than action. Good rental.

Worth a look

This is one of the most interesting movies I have ever seen. I love the backwoods feel of this movie. The movie is very realistic and believable. This seems to take place in another era, maybe the late 60's or early 70's. Henry Thomas works well with the young baby. Very moving story and worth a look.

an exceptional performance

Henry Thomas showed a restraint, even when the third act turned into horrible hollywood resolution that could've killed this movie, that kept the dignity of a redemption story and as for pure creepiness-sniffing babies?

Wonderful movie with real-life people I could relate to.

Henry Thomas was "great". His character held my attention. I was so "into" the story that I forgot it wasn't real. I wanted him to keep the baby and see what a special person he was. The other people in the story were essential in the makeup of his character. The way they banded together to help one another was truly awe inspiring. I love movies that show the real side of human emotions without having to hit you over the head, in that you are not smart enough to figure things out for yourself.

An honest, earnest simple story

"A Good Baby" is a simple story about simple people and how they deal with a not so simple problem. Set in a backwood hollow of Eastern KY's Appalachia, this slow moving and laconic film accurately portrays its location and people as it plods earnestly through its 90 minute run. Many may find this story lacking in substance though some may enjoy it for its rustic beauty and strong sense of integrity. An out-of-the-mainstream indie and a good representation of a bit of Americana unfamiliar to most.
