Thoughtful quiet film about a couple trying to have a child, or adopt one, and the strains this places on their relationship. Lots of dimensions, including the involvement of a niece who offers to be an egg donor. I liked the depiction of their relationship as neither idealised nor catastrophic...they have really bad patches and get angry with each other, and then they get over it...just like lots of people do in real life.
One small winge...they work as writers, they seem to have enough money for a quite-nice appartment in a NY district that's not yet gentrified (where is this?) but they don't actually seem to do any work, even though all the treatments that they try are really expensive. Sometimes they borrow money from their relatives, but they don't seem as poor as their working lives would seem to indicate.
Watched on Netflix.
