Births & death


The Midwife (2017)

Written & directed by Martin Provost this film stars Catherine Frot, Catherine Deneuve, Olivier Gourmet and Quentin Dolmaire. A French midwife is contacted out of the blue by her dead father's former mistress.

While not earth shattering this is a pretty interesting drama about one woman coming to terms with her past and another with her own mortality. Generally this is a well made film that handles it's subject matter without melodrama. There are good performances from the cast and some solid film making.

4/5
