Transgender filmmaker Jason Barker chronicles a very different kind of pregnancy.

Simran Hans

Observer (UK)

The film plays out as a love story rather than an issue film, with the couple's relationship soon becoming its most compelling element.

Rated: 4/5

Guardian

What it arguably loses in discipline and focus... it gains in emotional openness.

Rated: 3/5

Financial Times

Barker's film is revelatory, not least for how its scrapbook vignettes of everyday life can tell this story so well and at such human scale.

Rated: 4/5

Sunday Times (UK)

As a picture of love and determination, though, it's a poignant, valuable film.

Eye for Film

A Deal With The Universe isn't the sensational story viewers might expect from its subject matter, but finds its own magic in the most ordinary of places.

Rated: 3.5/5
