Reviews:
“Disappointingly things that are presented as major plot points, and I would have expected to take Baby Money’s plot in different directions end up being largely irrelevant. Technically well shot and acted, Baby Money may be OK for undemanding fans or those who want something they can follow without much effort. Most others will find it dull and predictable.” Voices from the Balcony
