A happily married couple (Anna Kendrick, Seth Rogen) surrounded by friends with kids are forced to confront their indecision about becoming parents when their divorced friend (Kate Berlant) and her daughter move in with them. BABIES is an honest and heartfelt comedy about defining what we really want for ourselves and the truths about parenthood that most people are too polite to say out loud.

I feel like it will be a more direct hit to couples like Lauren and Seth, which is probably the way it should be, but there’s a better version of this film that works at pulling in those of us who have to worry about carpools and college tuition, too.

The magic of the film lies in the way it walks everyone. . .who thinks women having kids is the only "normal" way to be elegantly through just how deeply someone like Annie has actually considered what having a child would mean for her. Go to Full Review Zachary Lee TheWrap 6 days ago
By the time the film ends, the genius of Miller Rogen’s script clicks into place: We can build families anywhere, and it’s to our detriment if we prioritize the nuclear, biological family to such an extent that we forget others in our community.

3/5
I appreciate that the film examines the question of having children, but it feels tone-deaf in a season when people without the wealth on display in the movie have limited or no access to the choice to remain childless. Go to Full Review Rachel West That Shelf 1 day ago
Ultimately, Babies finds its strength in refusing to make the question of parenthood a simple one. Go to Full Review Dan Bayer Next Best Picture 2 days ago
7/10
While it’s easy to wish for more depth in the level of shot composition, lighting, and blocking, the cast’s infectious energy and Miller Rogen’s impassioned screenplay make "Babies" a must-watch for anyone who’s had a kid or is considering having one. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
