- 75Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreAn engaging personal essay documentary about not having children, complete with interviews, arguments, hard data and sound reasoning coming from both sides of the debate. It’s all aimed at figuring out what Trump — no relation — will decide as she is now in her 40s and “the clock is ticking.”
- 70The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisCandid and empathetic, the movie’s segments can feel rushed and unfocused; yet they have a ragged intimacy that argues implicitly for an individual’s right to choose, without interference or condemnation.
- 60Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersLos Angeles TimesKimber MyersRemaining child-free is still a relatively taboo issue, and To Kid or Not to Kid deserves praise for exploring it so openly. The film wanders a bit in that exploration, lacking a structure that might make it more effective in having the conversation, but there’s value in broaching the topic.
- 60The GuardianLeslie FelperinThe GuardianLeslie FelperinEven though Trump puts herself, her husband and many members of her family at the heart of the story, the end result never feels navel-gazing or narcissistic.
