Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

donna-deannuntis This movie is one of the best I have seen. At times it was hard to watch, but I was rooting till the end for Nicholas. I both cried and laughed in this film because I was feeling the emotions that Nicole was being put through. Ethics seemed to be the issue but you have to watch this movie with an open mind that love alone can save peoples' life. I agree with Nicole Conn, if Nicolas was my son I would have done everything in my power to keep him alive. Get tissues ready as you watch two mothers battle differently with their emotions. Watch a little baby go through hell and come back to a wonderful life and place with two super mommies. I applaud the films creator and director as she made a wonderful choice to do this film.

kristyshrestha This documentary was the greatest film I've ever seen!! I had twin micro-preemies who were also born at 25 weeks and weighed 1 pound 9 ounces each. They went through many of the same obstacles that Nicholas went though. little man was so extremely true to life!! There is not one emotion, struggle, worry, battle, or experience that Nicole Conn exaggerated. She documented and told about life with a micro-preemie EXACTLY how it is. It was a very true to life film for me. Nicole Conn captured everything about life with a micro-preemie (or 2!) in an amazingly true light!I think that this film is a must see for NICU moms. I don't think I could have watched it while my twins were still in the NICU, but now, a year and a half later I found the film to be very healing for me. It was comforting to know that another mom had the same emotions and feelings that I had had while my twins were in the NICU.

ariannatx I learned a lot from this film. I learned not only how controlling we can be as human beings but as artists.Though I can not fully comprehend what this filmmaker has been through in her personal choice, I can certainly relate as a woman who has been faced with the difficult decision on whether or not to give up a child. I certainly admire Nicole's desire to give Nicholas a chance to fight for his life, but I was disgusted by the lengths that she would go to in order to play God with his fragile existence.This IS an important film in that it should be shown to every person on the planet considering fertility treatments, surrogacy or even having a child in the most basic sense. What do we...as simple animals...really understand about the workings of the universe? How do we know that the child's spirit wasn't waiting, in fact, for a better body for him to live in? Poor Nicholas didn't have a choice, it seems to me, which I find very ironic.Not only did I not find it inspirational that the filmmaker would essentially dare to risk the loss and emotional damage to her existing family (how cold the living not be more valuable?), I came out feeling that the filmmaker has MAJOR control issues...including controlling her audience.Nicholas was not allowed to live or die in his own way. He was forced to live, kept alive by technology. Well, watching this film, you as an audience member get to be little Nick for awhile as the filmmaker doesn't allow you to really have your own thoughts or feelings about the tragedy, the medicine, or the family dynamics. In fact, you get to have no emotion AT ALL of your own...thanks to manipulative and forced music, editing and images of happy children who the filmmaker herself says are her shining moments of life. (Alas, she forgets that children soon grow up and BOY do they change).I really feel for this family. This film is a tragedy to me. A tragedy that could have been avoided by a wonderful invention called ADOPTION.

show574math635 I have never seen a doc like this in my life. Sheer Genius. Everyone must see this brilliantly told story. I was so moved. This film rocks your core beliefs. Nicholas reminds you how to live. With gusto and determination. I admire his more than anyone I have ever known. His family is the type of family I wish I could call my own. Please take yourself to experience the beauty of little man. God Bless Gewn and Nicole...Mommies who matter. Their life is an inspiration to anyone who ever has faced challenges that they thought impossible to overcome. Belief in the human spirit and dignity of life is what resonates most throughout this film. Normal will never viewed through my eyes in the same way. I learned many lessons while watching this film. None of which the least being that through love, humor, and determination anything is possible. I watched for 1 1/2 hours and learned this lesson quicker than in all my years. The education provided in this film, through the medical world is inspirational and terrifying at the same time. Who knew what we as a society are now capable of doing with all of our gadgets? I do not know what I would do in a situation like this but I do know that I will question, at greater length, the initial impulse that I normally would regrettably grab for. By challenging myself to realize what I have to offer, I can only hope to measure up to the mountain of love that this family lives by. Again, please see this film. It will change your life.
