A few recent movies on fatherhood
Good story and realization, average content

The “scifi” setting that was perhaps justified when the story was written in 1996 doesn’t convey anything to the plot today.

Based on the novel by Jean Hegland
Writer: Patricia Rozema
Cinematographer: Daniel Grant
Editor: Matthew Hannam
