Good concept, poorly executed.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This "film" should've been called "First comes Love (for THE Me!)" as it is wrought with nothing but whining, self-indulgent, autobiographical footage, which at no time amounts to anything either compelling, interesting, or stimulating. At one point it seems like she wanted for this to be a token of what some bourgeois, privileged, middle-aged white women "have to" go through in our postmodern, angst-ridden age, but instead she just doubles down on meaningless & uninspired autobiographical trivialities. Another sign of how indulgent & narcissistic she is, the runtime of nearly 2 hours is decidedly excruciating to hear her whine about her First World problems, and how disappointing her pampered, kept life is. As an experiment in masochism, I watched it to the end, to see how consistently she remains committed to failing in this tortuous project, and she succeeds wonderfully in creating an endlessly long stream of pointless self-absorbed narratives about "this is my life." It doesn't even rise to the dreck of YouTube nonsense, as those peoples' channels have actual fans interested in the banalities of their personal lives. Nina Davenport doesn't even amount to that. Why she and HBO thought this could be of any interest to anyone is a mystery I wanted to unravel by disciplining myself to watch it all the way through. Even when she interacts with Jasper at the end, it's STILL all about her and how much of an inconvenience her new living hobby is for her listless lifestyle. Boo hoo. There are zero sympathetic characters of interest, and zero footage worth watching. At no time does this even get accidentally interesting. Hearing her tone of voice as she whines to people she points her camera at (like it's a shotgun), really brings alive how narcissistic the content is. What was the pitch like, "I'm going to whine to people about my insecurities and First World problems and whine to Daddy benefactor at how emotionally detached he was." This is a truly sad relic of the collapse of Western Civilization. That projects like this get green lit, when we've collapsed the ecosystem of the floating rock we all share is beyond crass, it's mind numbing.

I watched this documentary after I realized that my sister had watched it. I created an account with IMDb today just so that I can add my review. I am a female who turned 30 this year and cannot say that I have felt I wanted to have a kid and I still do not. I have a common law partner of 3 years who understands I and my choices to not have a kid or marry. Having sad that, I have utmost respect for mothers as I can't imagine the level of vulnerability and strength that they feel for other humans. My personal thought on this film is that I wish there were more films as this one that focus its angle on a female - her raw feelings, thoughts, perspectives, values, strengths, struggles, fears, selfishness, ego, and most importantly her needs. Let's face it; we are not used to watching a film about a female's experience shaped by her own choices and pure needs. And this is why I value this documentary film and it is a game changer for some. Thank you for making this film!

The way that you portray "men"... or that there is no suitable father out there that can meet obviously what seem to be "unrealistic needs" is quite a harsh thing to say. The whole thing comes off very pretentious. Social inequality is the main factor for your somewhat twisted views. Your father was spot on. The man has it right. You really didn't put in the time or effort to look for him and nurture a relationship with him so that it would be what you wanted it to be. And if it is proximity, the world is a big place and you are a film maker. Travel.It seems like you just want a quick fix and the child is going to suffer for it because he or she deserves two loving parents and focal points to see what love is and that it takes "real work" to make a relationship happen. I've never posted an IMDb review before but this film completely repulsed me on it's presentation of stereotype and class bias. If you can't find a man on your social level then reach down and uplift a good a decent one who has fallen on hard times that is cute and has a nice ass and makes you smile... He will love you for it and put in the effort required to make it work. It really should not be that hard.If NYC is anything like Toronto it's probably a meat grinder and all the good decent men have a story behind them. Patience and bonding is part of love, your parents understood it, that's why you feel it, and your child might just be robbed of that because of your resentment of men.But then again, to each their own. In matters of opinion, there can be no dispute. Whatever makes you happy, and wish you well.

Nina Davenport is a very talented, very engaging documentary film maker. Yet, she focuses on the mundane issues of her own existence. Despite having the camera trained on anything but herself, she manipulates every situation (at least those edited into the film to create a narrative) to be about her. The problem with this angle is that she is unable to create a universal connection or a common thread that will resonate with a diverse audience. It feels like the only people she's concerned with are those like her- people who can't find a soul mate. It's unfortunate. I've dated this type of woman. Same age, similar hang ups. I feel for her and people like her, I really do. However, there's a better documentary to be made examining the nature of those who are perpetually single and those who choose to have a child without a partner, or out of wedlock in friendship rather than love.She clearly isn't getting rich off these documentaries and has to supplement her income in other ways. This is a common thread from her previous film, Always A Bridesmaid, about being a perpetually single wedding videographer. This film is a solid continuation of Bridesmaid, made 13 years prior. She hasn't seemed to have changed much, apart from the typical alterations due to aging. I wonder what her next "big" documentary will be about- menopause? Retiring? Could she retire? What would retirement look like for her?
