Mar 17, 1995 · Review. Losing Isaiah is a movie that attempts to deal honestly with the issues of interracial adoption. Its portrayals are most always right on the mark. Halle Berry is almost unrecognizable (of course, her natural beauty gives her away) in the first part of the film.

Mar 17, 1995 · Losing Isaiah. The papers are filled with heartbreaking stories of tugs-of-war over children. Natural parents sue for custody, adoptive parents sue to keep the children they have grown to love, divorced couples fight desperately for possession of the children.
This movie shows a stark contrast between the life of Lange's character (a middle-class white woman) and the life of Halle Berry's character (a recovering crack user in the ghetto). Things grow tense during the trial, especially in the racially-charged discussion between the characters.
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 45% based on 29 reviews. The site's critical consensus reads, "Losing Isaiah makes an admirable attempt to tackle complex, worthwhile themes, but loses sight of effective storytelling during a descent into melodrama."
