Entry FeedLast night I went to see The Baby Formula. It opens today at the AMC Dundas, and you should go and see it.
The story is about a married lesbian couple who have sperm created from each other's stem cells and become pregnant, carrying each other's babies - no man needed.
If this was a Hollywood movie, that would be the story. But because we Canadians have more depth and humour, the film is so much more.
It is a mocumentary, and takes your from scenes which are laugh-out-loud funny to sad and poignant. There is a depth and reality to all of the characters which makes you fall in love. It is a film about motherhood, families, and love.
My favourite scene is the ultrasound, where the technician is flirting with Athena (played by Angela Vint) while Lilith (Megan Fahlenbock) lies there on the table trying to get some attention. Both actresses were pregnant during the filming, so it is nice to see real baby bumps instead of those fake ones worn by skinny actresses who don't gain weight anywhere but the belly and the padded bras (so unrealistic as we know!)
Please go and see it. Not one will you be supporting great Canadian cinema, but you will also be cleverly entertained...
Thanks for sharing. It is good information.
