A surprisingly easy watch for such a serious subject, tackling the 'fertility treadmill' with quirky characters and light-hearted humour
It was a slice of life in a trying time for a couple that just won’t give up hope. So well directed and acted.
A smart and funny indie drama about a middle age couple trying to be parents. Both Hahn and Giamatti give deeply sympathetic performances
Deep film that explores infertility, marriage and love. Moving and very well written, one great Netflix film.
Very bittersweet, honest, and incredibly well performed.
A nice film telling the intimately personal story of some quirky, witty, interesting characters with very real problems.
The acting was superb. The writing was great. I loved it from start to finish.
It is a great film the injection scenes were kinda weird and uncomfortable tho
A gripping story filled with tons of laugh so you don’t cry moments. Hahn is a real revelation here.
Very sharp and witty dialogue. Solid movie. If you’re a fan of Noah Baumbach you might enjoy this.
