Reviews
The Last Conception (2020)
Brilliant
The Agnes Films Production, 'The Last Conception' proved to be a surprise package. Producer/Director Gabriella Ledesma is clearly a slick operator, and she must have been as impressed by this lighthearted story, as we both were.
This is a thoroughly professional, believable and entertaining format, that deals with a modern day dilemma in the most entertaining of ways. We would like to think, that it will not only entertain, but also help modern day issues be seen less contentiously.
Full marks to all concerned, and a huge vote of confidence to the stories author Gabriel Constans.
