Masterful Movie
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
View MoreThere is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
View MoreThis is a very delicate and touchy topic, and I would like to apologize in advance to anyone who will feel offended by my review. In one review some said: "Education is key and learning about infertility is only half the battle." and I subscribe 100% to that statement. But, education should be first, not after the problem arrived; so we have to ask ourself a few questions. Why infertility is affecting so many people now? Why our parents and grandparents where not affected? Why is this a predominant issue in North America, and why is so expensive here, compare with let say EU? Historically, 3000 years ago the average life span was somewhere around 30 years, by 1850 that rouse to 45, today is between 73 and 83 in G20 countries. Unfortunately, our body genetics didn't kept the ratio. If you look into when your parents and grandparents got their bundle of joy, you'll see that they where much younger that today generation; also you'll notice that they were MORE active and their diet was MORE healthier (no growth hormones , no antibiotics in their food stuff, and this a hole new story). In Vegas Baby, we see people in their 30+ and 40+, some with a BMI (Body mass index) no so ideal, a doctor who think medicine is a business, and some of his prices that define common sense, taking advantage of people suffering. And in true american tradition they are doing a contest for free IVF. Shame.
View MoreWhile I am much earlier in my journey then the women featured in this documentary this movie hits home. It captures the emotions of infertility in a way I didn't think was possible . I highly recommend that anyone who knows someone going through infertility or if you are experiencing infertility yourself you watch this film.
View MoreGreat film with real people, real clinic, real doctors, and nurses and people in the reproductive industry telling the heartbreaking story of several couples journey to parenthood.Education is key and learning about infertility is only half the battle. I recommend this film to see the REAL life examples of what thousands of Americans face if they struggle to conceive. Let's hope no one has to face these issues in the near future, lets fight to get fair coverage for a disability (infertility) that affects 1 in 6 couples and is only getting worse with our prolonging of starting our families later in life.
View MoreIf you have considered or gone through IVF, or know someone who has.....this documentary is definitely worth watching!! Having recently gone through IVF and miscarriage, I really identified with the different story lines in this film. Truly, a job well done. Thank you to the film crew for bringing awareness to the world of infertility!
