Three sentence movie reviews: Babies

Note: this great swath of eight movies watched in four days was because I was working on the Roman shades for the front room and there was a lot of hand stitching, which called for a lot of movie watching.


Documentaries for me are like my sometimes feelings about exercise, namely they tend to be something I have to force myself to partake in and then I usually quite enjoy them. This was no different. With hardly a word, we get to experience the first years of four children in widely different settings, which was informative (so that's what they do when there are no diapers!) funny and moving.

  1. We enjoyed it a lot, too. I remember Sara loving how the Mongolia nurses packaged up the baby in a tight bundle on the way home, while cringing as the mother leapt on the motorbike.

  2. I was surprised at how "modern" the Mongolian yurt was. I think I liked Bayar, the baby from Mongolia the best. There were great scenes of older brother "poking."

  3. I also loved this moving. Devastatingly simple and beautiful. I laughed, cried, and was educated about the world.

  4. I can't keep my 3-sentence movie comments to only 3... Ponijao was my favorite baby. Hattie's parents were the most amusing to me!
