It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Best movie ever!
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
I saw the German film "24 Weeks", and the plot is exactly the same. I recommend you checking out that one as well.
This was a tasteful film which provided an intimate window into the complex medical decisions that a family has to make. This film should be shared with medical students and could be a great asset in helping them learn how to be compassionate caregivers.
As many commenters will note, 20 WEEKS presents an original depiction of the challenges expectant couples can face. While that is no doubt a noteworthy aspect of the film, there's much more to it. What I found especially compelling was the subtle patriarchy gradually exhibited by the lead male character, and the way the female lead develops in response. 20 WEEKS is thus not only a film about the challenges of pregnancy but also about the challenges of maintaining a feminist/egalitarian relationship during pregnancy.
I'd like to see this film at the San Diego phone festival this weekend and as a person with a disability I was excited to see how the subject matter would be handled. To say I was disappointed with what the baby was diagnosed with is an understatement. As a person who is wheelchair-bound, it is ludicrous to me that a couple would contemplate abortion for something so simple. That being said I did empathize with The hard decisions the couple Had to make throughout the movie. It wasn't a happy ending but it was a realistic one and I was grateful for that.
