Adam Ross The Aristocrat ... it has something that few modern films do: a realistic insight into the female perspective. Rated: 3/5 Sep 27, 2012 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: B- Aug 26, 2012 Full Review Jim Schembri 3AW The tale alternates between whimsy and realism a little too much...but is pleasant, passable viewing. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 3, 2012 Full Review Louise Keller Urban Cinefile 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 Jun 30, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Pure reality. Enjoyed it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/02/18 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Plongée dans la vie d'un couple qui attend un enfant. Un heureux événement est un film drôle et poignant a la fois. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Un bon film a regarder.. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Really good!
