I wanted to but couldn't!
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I saw the German film "24 Weeks", and the plot is exactly the same. I recommend you checking out that one as well.
This was a tasteful film which provided an intimate window into the complex medical decisions that a family has to make. This film should be shared with medical students and could be a great asset in helping them learn how to be compassionate caregivers.
As many commenters will note, 20 WEEKS presents an original depiction of the challenges expectant couples can face. While that is no doubt a noteworthy aspect of the film, there's much more to it. What I found especially compelling was the subtle patriarchy gradually exhibited by the lead male character, and the way the female lead develops in response. 20 WEEKS is thus not only a film about the challenges of pregnancy but also about the challenges of maintaining a feminist/egalitarian relationship during pregnancy.
This film is a most see if you get the chance. It touches subject matters that are usually looked upon. It also helped me undertsand certain situatons in life, alot bettter.
