This film was masterfully written, performed, directed, and filmed. The varied subjects are complex, genuine, joyful, painful, and often ignored in cinema. While, as a man, I can never have the empathy that comes with experience, the glimpse this movie gives into so many areas has deepened my understanding,
To make a joyful film while tackling such tough subjects as postpartum depression, misogynism, same sex marriage, abortion, and the oft repeated myth that a women over 30 with no husband or child is a failure, is truly a remarkable achievement. My favorite line; "I don't even know why I'm crying. I'm an agnostic feminist."
