CGiii Comment
A massively complex subject - mishandled by amateurs...it is, most definitely, a heartfelt production - and those emotions get in the way.
There is no balance - it's one-sided...from start to finish.
Mixed-race adoption and the inherent problems, surrogacy and the inherent problems, gay divorce and the inherent problems - all deserving individual attention.
To its credit...it does raise a plethora of important questions...however, it fails to answer any of them appropriately.
Distinctly amateur.
