Rating: 3/4 --
At its most radical and empathetic, "Far From the Tree" urges us to start thinking of disability in terms of identity, not as a locus of struggle but a place of being.

Boston Globe
It's a worthy theme, to be sure, and this portrait of several families, only one of whom was also featured in the book, includes many undeniably moving moments.
Hollywood Reporter
FAR FROM THE TREE offers bracing examples of people letting go of their preconceptions and projections to celebrate one another for who they are, regardless of labels or limitations.
Empire
Dretzin invites viewers to spend time with the differently abled and their mothers and fathers, to give a fuller sense of both the highs and lows.
Los Angeles Times
People can find ways to be happy now because they have more choices, more resources....That’s a fact worth celebrating, and this movie does so in an appropriately humane manner.

Far from the Tree is largely inspiring, especially when Dretzin puts her subjects front and center.

Product Description:
Emmy-winning filmmaker Rachel Dretzin's documentary aims to capture the "shimmering humanity" encapsulated by Andrew Solomon's critically-acclaimed 2012 nonfiction book FAR FROM THE TREE: PARENTS, CHILDREN, AND THE SEARCH FOR IDENTITY. It chronicles the challenges – and rewards – that American families face when raising children who face different challenges from their parents. Families impacted by Down syndrome, dwarfism, autism, and prison sentences are spotlighted.
