Thought provoking movie

Rating: 7/10 (13 July 2017)

To begin, I definitely think that people with children will find this movie a bit more interesting than singles or couples with no kids. To sum up the movie, it basically asks the question, "What if"
SPOILER ALERT!!!!!
The movie essentially asks the question, if you knew the future, what would you do? In this case, it was regarding the main characters decision to let her child exist. Even knowing that her child would eventually die the death she has, she still made the decision to let her be conceived/born. Her husband clearly opposes that and thus the reason she is alone and on her own as he has left because he is angry at her decision.
As I mentioned earlier, the whole concept of this movie will have a more emotional impact on people with kids as it creates a discussion about what you would do as parents if you had that ability to know ahead of time what life your child would live? If you knew they would die young, would you still have the child? Or would you not have one knowing they were going to die and put you through that heartbreak? It definitely raises interesting questions about one's ideals.
I definitely think the movie is slow paced at times, but overall, I liked it a lot only for the thought provoking questions it makes us think about afterwards. As a parent of kids the same age as the one in the movie, I find that I would do exactly what she did.
