My favourite film distributor is Focus Features. (The speciality film unit of Universal). It may come as a surprise then that I did not want to watch this film. (But Nicola made me buy it on Blu-ray).
Despite being unsure on the trailer, we watched it and I was pleasantly surprised. A well observed lesbian family comedy designed to shine light on the potential future ramifications of anonymous gamete donation. Fertility treatment aside, the heartache inherent in a stale relationship coupled with a double helping of 'come of age' angst make this a well layered film aimed at a 30+ audience.
Best moment(s): Any point at which gay porn is mentioned. The skateboard.
Worst moment: I was looking for a more upbeat finale and for Mark Ruffalo's character to be more than a lecherous man in a garden.
See this film if you don't like the trailer and are affected by any of the themes expressed in this review. 6.5/10
