What Foster Is About

Zoe and Alec Morrison cannot have children and are thinking about adoption; Alec's toy business is close to failing. One morning a seven-year-old boy turns up at their door, says his name is Eli and that he has been sent to them, and walks in. Who sent him and who he really is stay unclear, and the stillness in the house slowly breaks up. Toni Collette and Ioan Gruffudd play the couple. It looks like a family film, with the grief of an unspoken loss underneath; the fairy-tale side may feel too easy to some.
