I saw the German film "24 Weeks", and the plot is exactly the same. I recommend you checking out that one as well.

It's one of the movie I don't know why it film and what's the point of making it. Save ur time.

This movie creates a series of questions and situations, shifts back and forth in time, and ends without answering anything. Terrible movie. The ending should have been more clear if it was an intended message concerning the situation.

I'd like to see this film at the San Diego phone festival this weekend and as a person with a disability I was excited to see how the subject matter would be handled. To say I was disappointed with what the baby was diagnosed with is an understatement. As a person who is wheelchair-bound, it is ludicrous to me that a couple would contemplate abortion for something so simple. That being said I did empathize with The hard decisions the couple Had to make throughout the movie. It wasn't a happy ending but it was a realistic one and I was grateful for that.

Compelling and subtle. The premise is fantastic and the edit is excellent.

This was a tasteful film which provided an intimate window into the complex medical decisions that a family has to make. This film should be shared with medical students and could be a great asset in helping them learn how to be compassionate caregivers.

This film is a most see if you get the chance. It touches subject matters that are usually looked upon. It also helped me undertsand certain situatons in life, alot bettter.

As many commenters will note, 20 WEEKS presents an original depiction of the challenges expectant couples can face. While that is no doubt a noteworthy aspect of the film, there's much more to it. What I found especially compelling was the subtle patriarchy gradually exhibited by the lead male character, and the way the female lead develops in response. 20 WEEKS is thus not only a film about the challenges of pregnancy but also about the challenges of maintaining a feminist/egalitarian relationship during pregnancy.

I was struck immediately and deeply moved by the cinematography of "20 Weeks." The non-linear storytelling is poetic. I would like very much to read the screenplay, if it becomes available. The film is beautifully crafted. I applaud the filmmakers. Leena Pendharkar is a marvelous talent, and I look forward to seeing more of her work. I confess, I am a great admirer of Emily Schweber, whose casting is right on point. Anna Margaret Hollyman gives a heartfelt and generous performance. Exceptional, meaningful, heartbreaking, and impressive work.

I saw this film at the LA Film Fest and was blown away. The performances are compelling and the plot emotional and complex. I left the theater and thought about the film for days afterward. To me, that is what makes a film great or not - did it change your opinion or help you see the world in a different way? This film definitely did that for me. Highly recommended!

20 weeks will give you all the feels... I saw it at the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival 21 weeks pregnant, about 1.5 weeks after my own scan (all good news)... but I was really taken on the journey and sobbed a lot ... in the theatre ...openly ...mostly in part to the powerful acting. The story is strong and unfolds beautifully. The two leads were phenomenal and real and raw. I highly recommend checking out this film ... I wasn't sure what to expect with the ending, and was not disappointed.
