Movie itself, how construct the story, the scene the shoot all looks perfect. The whole story, from the beginning to the end, just pathetic. The ending makes the whole story even more pathetic. After all this they still wouldn't give it up. From the beginning, they just want to have a baby and this whole thing slowly takes big part of their life and it's hard for us to figure out what the meaning of their marriage. The baby? Then they tried everything for the baby, or other words, their marriage. Like if they don't have the baby, they have no other ways to sort it out. Okay then.

    3.5. Ten years after the acclaimed The Savages. Tamara Jenkins just launched a new work. Focusing on the arduous process of child-seeking of a middle-aged New York artist couple, we explore their life and mid-life crisis. The process was actually full of frustration and embarrassment, but the director reconciled it with a good sense of humor. There are a few scenes that are really funny, like the second wave of feminism getting shot while lying down. There are also nieces who adored the stars and said, "My uncles and aunts are the real artists, and they are over 40 years old and still rent an apartment on Avenue A. There are graffiti and drunkards at the door of the house." Self-deprecating. But what I agree with more is what the male protagonist finally said. In order to have a child, not only is the economy bottomed out, but the mental pressure is extremely high, and even the marriage is about to be destroyed.

    A film made by a delicate female director with tears in her laughter, how much helplessness there is in it, there is how much hope she will not give up in her heart.

  • Sadie: Look, I get my period every month and I flush an egg down the toilet. Why not give some to Richard and Rachel? What could be more meaningful than *me* giving two people that I love who are desperate to start a family the gift of life?

  • Sadie: You don't have to look at that tonight.

    Richard Grimes: No... hey! It's our anniversary. At least I can read about fellatio.
