Leslie Felperin Guardian It's unfussy and not particularly original, but effective and user friendly, the kind of film you could show your own mother if you decided not to have children. Rated: 3/5 Jun 17, 2020 Full Review Peter Keough Boston Globe It's rare that parents are asked why they have children. Dec 11, 2019 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) This is interesting to me because I decided to not have children in a very deliberate way. Nov 19, 2019 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix A solid and watchable effort ... but the film could have benefited from having a wider scope of people interviewed and more introspection from the director/narrator. Jul 11, 2020 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher Documentarian Maxine Trump's charming diary of deciding whether to have a baby does not shy from the most taboo of topics as she explores the cultural garbage that childless-by-choice women endure. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 1, 2020 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Overall the film might benefit from a tighter edit, but Maxine herself makes a good anchor and viewers facing the same situation will find her easy to relate to. Rated: 3/5 Jun 22, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
