I'm surprised by the high ratings. The movie isn't terrible but it certainly has its flaws. It is a slow movie with a very thin plot. I don't mind slow burning movies but my partner was waiting for this movie to go somewhere, which it did not.
My main issue with the movie is, it's trying for a happy ending... But we have just witnessed the main character cheat on his boyfriend/husband who have tried for a baby and will try again. When they are both at the airport parting ways, the isreali guy starts crying (why?) And he says "you should try again for a baby, you'll be a good dad". Erm no, the American character said he was in a monogamous relationship and just cheated on his husband. That's not the type of environment to bring a child in.
If the movie wasn't trying for the happy go well ending then fine.... But it seems to be aiming for that and it wasn't really happy at all.
