Saw a few scenes from Babies, the new documentary on, what else, babies. It looked absolutely charming. Then I read a review of it that suggested giving it a pass unless you want to watch clips of babies for the entire length of the film. Hmm. That didn't sound too exciting. Now I come across a review by Catholic film critic Steven D. Greydanus, whose views I have a lot of respect for. In his review Don't Count Out Babies!, he says, "Everyone should see Babies. Even people who have cats instead of children should see Babies." Simply put, Babies is a "celebration of new life, of love, of family, of the wonder of the world." Count me in!
