I am confused why so many people have literally panned this film. Look, it is a film about a woman giving birth and a man who helps her through it. If you think having a baby should be without cursing, sex, masturbation, and basically strictly one way or another you won't enjoy this film. If you are looking for a funny, touching take on real life and a peek into one woman's experience you will really enjoy it. If you don't like women and men to have depth you should probably avoid it. I loved how the Doula continually shares and advocates for absolute agency for women giving birth. It is HER experience and each one is unique. This film really underscored that and it was a joy to behold! Acting was great. I loved all the leads and it was refreshing to see lots of new faces. I gave it nine because occasionally it was a bit corny rather than emotional but overall I loved this film!
