Molly Bernard and Patrick Breen in Milkwater (2020)

Milo (Molly Bernard, "Younger"), a directionless twenty-something living in New York, is confronted with the inertia of her adult life after attending her best friend Noor's baby shower. After her roommate George bails on her for a Tinder date, Milo strikes up a conversation with Roger, an older gay man hanging out at her local bar. As the conversation turns to children, Milo learns that Roger has had multiple adoptions and surrogacies fall through. As the two get closer, spending nights hanging out at Roger's drag bar and drinking together, Milo decides to become his surrogate. As their relationship progresses, Milo grows increasingly attached to Roger and must grapple with boundaries, emotional entanglement, and the weight of the decision she has made for herself to move forward.

Too annoying for words

The acting and technical aspects were top-notch, but the main character is so annoying as to be completely unsympathetic, so much so that the humor falls flat with a dull thud. Not only did I not laugh out loud, I didn't even break a half-hearted smile. If Milo were my Facebook friend, I would block her without hesitation.

Funny, cute, well done

Don't trust the rating here. There's clearly some low-key smear campaign at work (which is one of this platforms strengths, after all). This is a cleverly written film with great characters. The wit is acerbic and the story is strong. Definitely one of the better LGBTQ films I've seen recently.

An OK drama about the pitfalls of surrogacy

As a lesbian couple is holding a baby shower, a straight-woman friend meets a 50-something bartender / drag artist who desperately wants a baby, but has failed both on adoption and surrogacy. She impulsively offers to be his surrogate. As the pregnancy progresses, the two parents' diverging ideas / fantasies of how the child will be raised start to conflict.

This is a good study of the pitfalls of surrogacy, where there is no signed-in-advance contract, or even a pre-negotiated agreement between friends. My quibble is whether someone over 50 really should be looking towards having a baby alone.

I am just angry

I did not like this movie as much as I thought I would. First of all, this movie has almost no likeable characters. They are all petty, selfish, and DON'T COMMUNICATE. No one tells another what they are feeling or attempt to talk like rational adults, especially the main woman and male leads between the surrogacy. I can understand both sides of their argument, but neither communicate or behave like rational adults who are in a consensual surrogacy. I was at least satisfied with the ending, but overall this story left me just feeling frustrated and angry.

This is about life, our past, and our goals.

Molly Bernard who is also a Producer of the film is the female lead as well. Milo.

For Milo, take into account her family history when the female lead explains it.

Take into account her relationship with her friends and competition with her best female friend. I see best friends having that level of competition many times.

The female lead is still trying to find her purpose and she finds one as being a surrogate.

It was done impulsively and the rest of the movie is a classic case many surrogates might find themselves in.

I did find it an enjoyable watch. The acting, music, cinematography and directing looked great from what I could tell.
