This genre is a very difficult one to tackle, so have that be your initial directing effort, add in a real pregnancy and the barriers of low budget filmmaking, and I can honestly say the filmmakers accomplished a lot here.
Knowing the "low budget" nature of the film, I'm shocked at how clean it looks. Go to Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc, there are literally dozens of films shot on a budget similar to this one that don't look nearly as polished. Kudos to whoever was holding the camera, you have a future in cinematography.
The story itself suffered from a few pacing issues, there are too many scenes where nothing much happens. And the "sister" character's acting left a lot to be desired (although she's barely in it).
However, the leads did a fine job, Paula especially. I wish she was in more films, she can act.
Looking forward to what these filmmakers can accomplish with a larger budget in the future.
