  1. A deeply personal, often wrenching documentary.
  2. 80
    A marvelously compressed and immaculately constructed work.
  3. 60
    Guaranteed to polarize audiences. Is her insistence on taking every measure possible to save little Nicholas heroic or monumentally self-serving?
  4. 38
    Your baby is near death. Instead of dropping everything to save his life, you make sure the video camera keeps rolling.

    [**Spoilers**] I don't think that they should have checked the health of the surrogate mother. Things would have turned out very different and probably easy. Also, I think they should have spent more time with Nicholas instead of worrying about the camera. Expand
