New York Daily News

Dec 1, 2011

There is also inspiration in watching her find herself by helping others.

By Joe Neumaier FULL REVIEW

Los Angeles Times

Nov 29, 2011

(A) stirring, if inconclusive documentary.

By Gary Goldstein FULL REVIEW

Variety

Nov 30, 2011

Part personal quest, part testimonial and part fund-raiser, A Journey in My Mother's Footsteps fulfills disparate agendas for helmer Dina Rosenmeier, a mildly resentful daughter wondering why her humanitarian mother prioritized orphaned Indian children over her own offspring.

By Ronnie Scheib FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

Dec 1, 2011

Rosenmeier's tendency to insert herself at the center of the story - awkwardly drifting into the frame as she interviews local social workers, carefully inspecting institutions as if she were a high-profile ambassador - at first seems slightly immodest. Gradually, it suggests a deeply unsettling level of self-involvement.

Great achievements don't guarantee great documentary - or, as A Journey in My Mother's Footsteps proves, they don't even secure a mediocre one.
