This movie, while the performances were great was just stupid. And it's annoying this midwife was blamed at all. The prosecuting attorney talked about the public's hatred for her like she was Casey Anthony. Theres no way a case like this would even go to court. Theres absolutely no basis on why the midwife would be prosecuted. She didn't do anything wrong at all. Nothing. I mean the baby even came out alive and crying and as soon as she stopped crying midwife jumped to try to revive her. So I'm a bit confused by it all. Bottom line to all the wanna be progressive (or regressive, dependinghow you look at it) women out there in terms of childbirth, if you want to make sure you have a healthy, living baby in the end, have it in a hospital! Childbirth can be complicated, even dangerous, and women who want to have their babies at home are just asking for problems. 3 stars for performances alone.
