I don't understand what was "hippie" about the way Hattie was being raised? I thought she was being raised as most progressive Amerrican... uples aspire to raise their infants today, who wouldn't want to be the child of those well prepared, well balanced mature parents? . I am a 52 year old Grandmother and volunteer child advocate I found the movie to be utterly compelling. I found it to be artfully beautiful as well ~~ I was moved to tears more than once,. I went alone and then I couldn't stop talking about this film to my husband and friends! The movie afforded me a windw into other cultures that made me feel as if my world had been richly enlarged with every moment of every scene. Like a really good book, I was sad when it ended, I wanted more. I'm going again. Full Review

I saw this movie with my daughter and her husband. We loved it. We spent the rest of the day talking about it. I loved the contrast between the... ltures. It made me think about how concerned I was about just about EVERYTHING when my babies were little. This movie points out that babies grow, learn, survive, etc in many different lifestyles and climates. You could easily take 4 babies in the USA and the contrast would be phenomenal. I think they did a wonderful job of contrasting and comparing. In a very entertaining way. I highly recommend this movie. And not just to women. Full Review

I'm a 42yr old felmale who saw Babies with my daughter & her female friend both 10 yrs old. The USA baby Hattie IS NOT RAISED like USA babies. Hippy... babies maybe, just not most babies. Movie was (okay) kind of boring. My daughter & her friend liked the babies & that was it. The naked people in the movie are part of life & didn't bother us. Bottom line, I thaught it WAS NOT worth the amont of money paid to see it. Okay movie, if it were cheaper or free. Full Review

There's nothing Hollywood or Gerber about Babies. But it will be hard to watch this extraordinary film and its adorable stars without a goofy smile.Full Review

A mesmerizing and weirdly manipulative experience.Full Review

I don't think the movie is looking for answers; it isn't asking any questions. But by its very nature, this is both an experiment in ontology (do babies know they're babies?) and existentialism (are they thinking about who to be?).Full Review

The similarity between the children is the most striking part of the movie.Full Review
