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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    life is complicated

    Milo (molly bernard) meets roger (pat breen) and agrees to be a surrogate for him. He's a single gay guy, looking for someone to carry his child. She got pregnant on the first try, but neglected to work out all the details. So her lawyer friend advises her to be careful, and meet with roger to figure it out. Milo is feisty, and pregnant, with all those hormones, so she's grouchy. And argumentative. Both roger and milo are trying to carry on their own lives, but it's challenging, with a baby on the way. Good film. I guess it could have happened this way, but i think most of us would have signed the papers before getting pregnant to carry a baby for someone else. It's complicated. Written and directed by morgan ingari. This seems to be someone's personal story. Probably many peoples' story.

    Enjoyed it! .. With a few exceptions.

    If only the process to have a child with assistance,could actually be this easy.

    Have been on both sides of the process,can tell you this was a fantasy.. Did not genuinely show the pitfalls,of all that surrogacy entails.

    The dad to be- Became a jerk as,he got closer to his goal.

    It seemed to happen after joining the dad group,what kind of support do they offer? Ugh!

    Was she always,acting right? No! But He didn't need to be so cold,to someone needing support.

    She became just an incubator with no care over her well-being,unless it was just about baby.- Arrangement or not,you need to care for both!

    Shocked she signed the contract with all of its legalities,including over her own body.. In the reality showed her(genuine)intentions,more than his with their friendship.

    If you been through trying to have a kid,helping someone.. This might not be a movie for you!
