Jackson (Pulp Fiction) portrays her firebrand attorney.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: This drama about interracial adoption is serious and affecting, thanks in large part to the presence of its two magnetic stars.
Rotten: The material is emotionally wrenching, but the actors play sociopolitical totems more than flesh-and-blood characters.
Fresh: Losing Isaiah transcends the custody issue and finds drama in the black-white polarities that neither character can escape.
Rotten: Not only does this lowest-common denominator conclusion backfire, it insults anyone who invested their time getting involved in the whole thing.
