    Loved the movie

    Loved every minute. Kept me captivated an loved every minute being an older woman understanding the joys of motherhood and all that goes with it. The movie I felt had no agenda. Looking forward to seeing it again and to the masochistic remarks I see. Boo to you.

    this was actually...

    A bit more than what a grumpy old man couldve expected out of a corona inspired diy homemade film project, where the core issue is to be alone and to become pregnant when the world shuts down around you, jobs evaporating like water on a cooking plate, and things you take for granted becomes a deadly task to reach when whaling around in uncertainty.

    Its a feelful story told trough facetime and cellphone audio, and goes into a more introspective documentary style the last 3rd part of the story. The amazing thing though is that this is a real pregnancy and a realborn creature of the human race . So if you dont feel the issues of it all in the enbd, then you are some kind of phatic with a negative digt in front.

    Its not a marvellous film by all means, but it tells a pretty realistic story, so if youve got time to spend, and feel a bit pregnant yourself then have a go.

    Do you love to be touched by beautiful cinema? Then watch this film!

    The heart, love and story of the film sold me in the trailer! Then I watched the bts film on HBO! Then I watched the film! It made me FEEL all the emotions that I want when I watch a film. I can't tell you how much this movie made me love seeing someone's journey during covid. And mostly during their own emotional journey of motherhood! Kudos to Dan and Selina for making this, in my opinion highly recommended film!

    Authentic

    My wife was pregnant during Covid last year and this movie really portrayed that struggle. It's authentic and brave to film a movie like this while pregnant and going through the pandemic. Definitely relatable and worth watching.

    Finally! An unflinching view of pregnancy!

    I can't even imagine the anxiety of being pregnant during COVID. I really admire these courageous filmmakers for fighting off their fears -- and turning on their cameras. They found a compelling story with moments of crisis and joy... and even some humor in the situation. I thought it was amazing to see the pregnancy recorded over time, a real woman's expanding body with nothing to hide. This was an interesting blend of fiction and nonfiction, the filmmakers bearing witness to a dark time in our lives -- definitely worth watching!
