Film review by Ed Morrissey:
Read the whole review at the link above.October Baby tells the story of a young college student, Hannah (Rachel Hendrix), who has had numerous health issues in childhood but emerged as a generally healthy young adult when supported with proper medical care — at least until she collapses during a school play. The subsequent medical tests, and the reading of her private journal by her parents, lead to a clash in which she discovers for the first time that she was adopted, and that she survived an abortion at 24 weeks. Shocked, angry, and lost, Hannah joins her childhood confidante Jason (Jason Burkey) on a quest to find her true identity and some real meaning to her life.
I don't normally go for dramas, but considering that this movie deals with two subjects very close to Aimee and my hearts - adoption and everyone's right to live - I look forward to watching this one.
I am hoping they show this here, but doubt they will. As soon as it comes out on dvd/blue ray we'll be buying this movie. I watched an interview with the woman who plays the birth mother and I was sobbing once it was over.
ReplyDeleteWe're also looking forward to watching it on DVD. I'd like to support the movie financially by watching it in a theater (hopefully that would result in more movies like this), but it's difficult, and expensive, to find a sitter for seven kids.
