However I have come to trust your opinion so I am now bound and determined to see GRACE as soon as I can.<br /><br />And I don't feel you rambled at all, in fact your review put me in the mind of some of Roger Ebert's work.<br /><br />And besides what I am about to share next is much more rambling.<br /><br />On a personal note, I imagine it will be tough viewing for me. My missus and I were originally told we would most likely not be able to have children.<br /><br />Then almost ten years ago now we found out that we were going to have a kid after all.<br /><br />(Yes dear readers my seed is that mighty)<br /><br />Things we smoothly enough until the big day, to keep it short my daughter became stuck and an emergency c-section was needed.<br /><br />I was there with the missus for the procedure to comfort her as best I could.There was a partition up so I couldn't see the trained medical professionals going through my wife's innards like she was the guest of honor at a zombie buffet.<br /><br />Finally they got my daughter free and sent her off to the neonatal intensive care ward.<br /><br />Meanwhile a panic of sorts erupted in the operating room because the doctors' realized they couldn't find one of my wife's kidneys.<br /><br />So they had to get a whole other missing kidney specialist doctor while I was bundled off to check on my daughter.<br /><br />Once everyone was stabilized and the damn kidney was found (It was hiding) I was sent home alone to what felt like the emptiest apartment in the world.<br /><br />About week later my wife and daughter were well enough to come home and we all got ready to settle into that new baby parenting routine.<br /><br />At least until that first 4 AM feeding when part of my wife's incision split open spilling red fluid onto the kitchen floor.<br /><br />Everything turned out Ok in the end (although I don't think my wife will ever let me forget that in a crisis I forgot the number for 911- I really did)<br /><br />Now that's a ramble B-Sol!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09492062472206579391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-21200160735469386672009-08-16T04:05:54.141-04:002009-08-16T04:05:54.141-04:00Excellent review Sir.

The material is challenging,but I didn't feel it was overwhelming. <br /><br />I felt it was cleverly done pushing the status quo, but not in a way that was for cheap thrills. There is thought behind this film, reflection of the relationships of women and birth and women with each other. <br /><br />www.musingcontinuum.comMs Harkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901608695669018991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-38845921797791053602009-08-15T23:42:08.100-04:002009-08-15T23:42:08.100-04:00Lucky!

The blood is quite copious, I'll warn you--but this isn't a film that relies on gross-outs to generate horror.<br /><br />Funny you mention the Little Shop connection, because BJ-C did a post a while back on Day of the Woman expressing doubts to that effect. But I assure, this is light years away from Little Shop of Horrors.B-Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10717121313061173603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-47235821033156557572009-08-15T15:54:13.129-04:002009-08-15T15:54:13.129-04:00From what you said I feel like Grace is everything...From what you said I feel like Grace is everything I'd hoped it'd be and more.

The fear for every new mother is losing a child is the biggest horror of all.<br /><br />For some reason I keep thinking of Little Shop of Horrors as Seymour must feed the plant more blood to keep it from being hungry.KT Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958121742156171756noreply@blogger.com
