Today I finally had the opportunity to see the movie Babies in the theater. I am on call, so I had my phone on vibrate in my pocket, and when it rang (it was my own mom!), I was convinced it would be one of my pregnant mamas needing me! Wouldn’t that be a funny coincidence?

I really enjoyed the film, which simply shows the lives of four babies in four different parts of the world, with no narration, no translation, so commentary. It was beautiful to see how other people rear their children and it was also a treat to spend an hour and nineteen minutes just staring at adorable babies!

There was even an adorable child with his mom in the row in front of us. The official website has a great interview with all of the babies’ parents too. I definitely recommend the movie if you’re interested in ethnography or just like babies!
