... it has something that few modern films do: a realistic insight into the female perspective.

The tale alternates between whimsy and realism a little too much...but is pleasant, passable viewing.

Rated: 2.5/5

Desire, love and madness leads to motherhood in this warts-and-all look at the A to Z of what happens to a woman when she has a baby... there's an inherent feeling of truth about the work and performances, resonating especially with female audiences

Let's all take a moment and appreciate just how brilliant Louise Bourgoin was in this. A fantastic movie, nothing less than you'd expect from Rémi Bezançon.

Plongée dans la vie d'un couple qui attend un enfant. Un heureux événement est un film drôle et poignant a la fois.

Debut Performance By Ms Bourgoin Is Fantastic, The French Take On Pregnancy & Through A Women's Perspective, Is A Fresh Break From All The Hollywood Rom-Com Rubbish That Tends To Fill Up The Cinemas.
