This documentary about the forced adoption scandal in the UK is widely seen as a vital, harrowing story that's unfortunately told in a frustratingly flat and procedural way. The first-hand accounts from mothers like Marion McMillan and Ann Keen are powerful, but the presentation of their testimony and the archival material, including footage of Keir Starmer, leaves many feeling the storytelling lacks emotional impact. People call it an important subject trapped in a dull film.
