A documentary film that just shows the complexity of family relationships (particularly mother-daughter relationships) and deals with loss and many other themes. 100% recommend!!

I had not heard of this movie prior to seeing a clip of Julia Fox pulling it in her Criterion interview, and decided randomly to watch it this morning.
It articulates such a wide and deep and complex understanding of womanhood, motherhood, loyalty, grief, and identity.
Specific praise to the cinematography and to the set design.
Highly highly highly recommend.

probably the best portrait of grief i've ever seen. never felt such empathy for someone going through and doing some of the most fucked up shit of all time. watch if you enjoy supernatural high-stakes romance/insane-o family dramas.

I watched this film on Netflix a few days after it first came out and I cannot recommend it enough. It takes you on the deeply emotional journey of the scientists behind the development of IVF particularly Jean Purdy as well as the women undergoing the treatment. The film also tackles the reaction of the public to this new found medical treatment with religious people believing it go be playing god and others viewing them as mad scientists. The cast is also phenomenal with Thomasin McKenzie taking on the the main role as well as many other amazing actors I've recognized from other shows and movies. This feminist story of science history is well worth the watch in my opinion.

I used to be the person who only considered someone my friend if they were one of my CLOSE friends. I always felt that anything other than that was surface-level and not worth having.
But as I’ve grown up I’ve grown to appreciate the fact that there are many different types of friends and I can enjoy them for what they are. Not every friend I have needs to be the closest friend who I can share my deepest secrets with.
I appreciate the friends that i only see once every few years, low maintenance friendships, uni-friends, friends that i only talk about movies with, friends of friends etc.
Just trying to embrace happiness wherever i can find it.
