Best movie of this year hands down!

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

I liked the fact that Nina manages to picture very well the concerns of a woman in her 41s being realistic enough to realize that if she really wants to experience the role of a natural mother, then she has to take a decision and it has to be a fast one. I read a comment above debating on why a woman in her 40s is still single. From my point of view the comment proves judgment and criticism building on the hypothesis that is has to be the woman fault for still being single. I choose to stay away from these perspectives because I feel it's the right of every person to take her/his romantic decision, no matter the age. I scored the Documentary with a high score because I felt I was watching a grounded and realistic movie. Yes it might happen to be single in your 40s and still want to be a mother, as it can happen to feel more close to your mother than you felt towards the Dad. This doesn't mean that the relationships cannot change or evolve. And I am stating this because I am sure that how Nina decided to share her perspectives and feelings towards her father, changed something inside him, opened him up and allowed him to see life from different angles. Great Job Nina! I really liked your openness and creativity!

I watched this documentary after I realized that my sister had watched it. I created an account with IMDb today just so that I can add my review. I am a female who turned 30 this year and cannot say that I have felt I wanted to have a kid and I still do not. I have a common law partner of 3 years who understands I and my choices to not have a kid or marry. Having sad that, I have utmost respect for mothers as I can't imagine the level of vulnerability and strength that they feel for other humans. My personal thought on this film is that I wish there were more films as this one that focus its angle on a female - her raw feelings, thoughts, perspectives, values, strengths, struggles, fears, selfishness, ego, and most importantly her needs. Let's face it; we are not used to watching a film about a female's experience shaped by her own choices and pure needs. And this is why I value this documentary film and it is a game changer for some. Thank you for making this film!

Hadn't checked the docs lineup on Netflix for a while (after getting burned by "Jiro Dreams of Sushi"!), but my wife thought this one sounded interesting. It is, and a lot more involving than some of the fiction films we've seen lately. Nina Davenport doesn't have the wit or the storytelling chops of a filmmaker like Ross McElwee, the pioneer of the video diary with voice-over format, but there's so much going on in her life as a single woman, "age 41½," who very much wants to have a baby that the material doesn't need much shaping, and she certainly seems to be putting it all out there. (One subject she's disappointingly reticent on is where the money for all this is coming from….)Judging by pro reviews and other comments, she does come across to some as needy and self-absorbed—someone who's willing to display her dilated cervix (spoiler alert??) on HBO might very well have some issues—but we were impressed by her honesty and bravery. Her stalwart "pregnancy partner" Amy and the friends and helpers she interviews about their experiences are especially thoughtful and articulate; only one (a guy, I'm sorry to say) seems to be playing to the camera. Her filmed conversations with her parents are pretty revealing as well—her late mother charming and empathetic, her father an affable dinosaur who just doesn't get why his videographer daughter didn't end up as a lawyer or a banker like her two brothers.

Nina Davenport is a very talented, very engaging documentary film maker. Yet, she focuses on the mundane issues of her own existence. Despite having the camera trained on anything but herself, she manipulates every situation (at least those edited into the film to create a narrative) to be about her. The problem with this angle is that she is unable to create a universal connection or a common thread that will resonate with a diverse audience. It feels like the only people she's concerned with are those like her- people who can't find a soul mate. It's unfortunate. I've dated this type of woman. Same age, similar hang ups. I feel for her and people like her, I really do. However, there's a better documentary to be made examining the nature of those who are perpetually single and those who choose to have a child without a partner, or out of wedlock in friendship rather than love.She clearly isn't getting rich off these documentaries and has to supplement her income in other ways. This is a common thread from her previous film, Always A Bridesmaid, about being a perpetually single wedding videographer. This film is a solid continuation of Bridesmaid, made 13 years prior. She hasn't seemed to have changed much, apart from the typical alterations due to aging. I wonder what her next "big" documentary will be about- menopause? Retiring? Could she retire? What would retirement look like for her?
