Robin h @robinhuber 12/29/2017 Nothing earth shattering, but it definitely delivers what you're probably hoping for: a sweet, comforting, sincere film with Catherine Deneuve in it.

There are scenes of women having babies and sweet shots of their first moments with their babies, but the film is more about the relationship between two estranged women. See more 09/09/2017 Boring! And way too long. See more parrish h @RT91180286 08/23/2017 A must-see for Catherine Deneuve fans. In her mid-70s she looks fabulous and plays an outrageous character that doesn't seem far from how I imagine her real self. Small story about an unusual relationship. The other lead is a midwife, but that's just background. A plus however as we see lots of births and newborns. Film is very engaging. I was surprised to find we had been watching for two hours. See more 08/04/2017 Superb acting, yes, but also extraordinary writing, direction and photography. It's been a while since I enjoyed a movie this much. See more 08/04/2017 The distinct minority of The Midwife reviews that are negative generally find the movie treacly and thin and the ending contrived (conclusions I disagree with strongly). But they also uniformly find that the only reason to see it is the strong performances from the leads. Granted, for the sake of argument, that their criticisms have validity, why wouldn't the opportunity to see a tour de force duel between two of our best actresses, Catherine Frot and Catherine Deneuve, rate a fresh tomato on its own? That factor would place this movie above 90% of this year's meager offerings for me! See more Read all reviews
