Review of Children of a Lesser God (1986) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 26 Oct 2000
By telling the whole story from Hurt's point of view, the movie makes the woman into the stubborn object, the challenge, the problem, which is the very process it wants to object to...This objection aside, Children of a Lesser God is a good but not a great movie.
The subject matter is new and challenging, and I was interested in everything the movie had to tell me about deafness.
