Rated 30 Aug 2021

Viewed August 26, 2021. The drama is kept admirably small-scale and realistic, particularly when it comes to the pain and insecurity faced by Holliday's character during her pregnancy (and Holliday's performance is very good, albeit much more somber than any of her starring roles). Not exactly the most exciting movie moment-to-moment, it doesn't stick the landing because its resolution feels too simplistic and the narrative too inert, but I give it points for ambition.
