Review of Gayby Baby

Gayby Baby (2015)
4/10
A very ordinary film about really interesting children
20 February 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I just don't understand why the parents chosen were all such idiotic, ill- informed, seemingly uneducated people who lay far too much responsibility on their children. One set apparently let their child watch unlimited wrestling, and then decided they have a problem with the outcome, another set have an unhealthy attitude to religion, a third couple appears to unaware of the importance of properly helping a child with learning difficulties, while the fourth couple are strangely childish. All of the children are astonishingly interesting and cool, leaving one to wonder if parenting just doesn't matter, or if these children have realised themselves to be the people they are becoming all by themselves. The fact that the parents are gay is a fact that doesn't even matter, but which is belaboured by the ponderous utterances of the parents. Really, really well filmed - it's a beautiful looking film.
