Featured reviews
Not terrible, simply lacking in good acting performances by all the other (mediocre) actors, who usually only would star in cheap tv series, but now get to act alongside the brilliant Dustin Hoffman, who delivers another stellar performance. Candice Bergen is great as well, but it is such a disappointment to watch all these other cheap tv actors ruin a good story.
The writing alone is fantastic, but add on the wonderful ensemble cast and youre a for an emotional exploration of which there are few better in the last few years.
Diana Agron is the central character, and is just wonderful, and deserves accolades for the performance she puts in, its good to see her in a great post-glee role. She has such a presence, and even her voice is as warm and beautiful as she appears.
Simon Hedberg as the estranged brother likewise gets a good opportunity here to show us his post geek potential.
Not sure i need to single Mr Hoffman out at this stage in his career, he puts in what you expect, complete with humour and grace.
Ms Bergen is just great, as the matriach, doing so well with the material that you will probably dislike her character (immensely)
The film feels well paced and recollections and flashbacks to me at least seemed perfectly timed to explain characters reactions to circumstances through the film.
If this is Mayim Bialiks first outing, then i cant wait for the second....

Just a regular story about life, chapters, transitions, focused on how one Jewish gal apparently leans into her faith to make it through (we are left to assume). Well worth the watch even if you are not Jewish. Also, kudos MB for such a daring, bold move, not only P+D, but also WRITING. Well done. IHS.
This film is rife with poorly developed characters and cheezy, cloying script. I tried to watch it longer based on these positive reviews, but I am choking on the cheeziness. Give it a miss.
Big congrats to Mayim Bialik for her first time directing and writing a movie!!
As They Made Us has one of those story lines that almost everyone can relate to. It was full of heart and emotion. It makes you cry and smile at the same time. All the cast were amazing and they melt your hearts. If only the story could get a little bit deeper into characters specially the relationship between the son and the mom, it would be awesome.
Nice job Mayim Bialik and I can't wait for your future projects.

- GoofsAt the funeral, everyone shovels dirt on the coffin using the normal side of the shovel. The traditional practice is for each family member to add three shovels of dirt to the grave using the back or rounded part of the shovel rather than the scoop to symbolically say how reluctant one is to lose this loved one.
