Critic Reviews

Michael Rechtshaffen

A deeply personal, often wrenching documentary. Read full review

Andrew O'Hehir

A marvelously compressed and immaculately constructed work. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

Pic can be taken as either inspirational or cautionary, but either way rivets attention on the efforts of both medical science and Conn herself to keep the little guy alive. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Deeply personal film that often feels more like an artfully produced home video than a documentary. Read full review

Mark Holcomb

Guaranteed to polarize audiences. Is her insistence on taking every measure possible to save little Nicholas heroic or monumentally self-serving? Read full review

Lawrence Van Gelder

Weighing in at almost exactly one pound and unable to breathe or eat on his own, Nicholas James Baba-Conn seemed doomed to a very short life; his chance for survival was calculated at close to zero. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Your baby is near death. Instead of dropping everything to save his life, you make sure the video camera keeps rolling. Read full review

[**Spoilers**] I don't think that they should have checked the health of the surrogate mother. Things would have turned out very different and probably easy. Also, I think they should have spent more time with Nicholas instead of worrying about the camera.
