Private Life - Film about a couple having fertility issues on at cinema

[Scarlett13]

Hi everyone

I’m going to the cinema to see a film tomorrow called Private Life. Go on YouTube and look at the trailer! Looks like they do or consider ivf and donor eggs in it x

This is one of those netflix funded films that's being shown in some cinema's but its also on Netflix now. Looks very interesting I'm a huge fan of Paul Giamatti, I'll be watching this tonight with my wife.

Loved!

[Scarlett13 in reply to Billywhizz10]

Thank you we are going to watch it on Netflix instead

[Billywhizz10 in reply to Scarlett13]

One more shot is also very good, on Netflix, I found out about it from a fellow member here.

[Scarlett13 in reply to Billywhizz10]

Yes I’ve seen that too, very emotional

[Billywhizz10 in reply to Scarlett13]

I watched it with my wife and I think films like this are really good for showing the harsh reality of IVF.

I wish we had watched this years ago before we started on our IVF journey. Like One Shot, it doesn't show the media friendly image of IVF that it's a miracle cure, and how bloody hard it is. Most private clinics wouldn't want new patients watching this, although its the truth. x

I’ll check this out, thank you x

Thx for sharing. x

Thank you! I watched it yesterday with my husband, hoping that he starts to understand what this all means to us. And despite the rather depressing topic it was quite entertaining as well.

[Scarlett13 in reply to sarahharas]

I thought it was brilliant- very emotional and funny and totally relatable!

It's great that these issues are being brought to the mainstream. I had no idea fertility issues were so common until I had them myself and came across this network. I feel so much less abnormal! Thanks for letting us know about this!

Downloading now for watching over the next few days. I also need to find some light hearted actually funny comedy or feel good programmes / films to watch over the next few weeks. Any suggestions?

[genten in reply to Hidden]

I still need to watch it and will try tonight.

I watched 'nappily ever after' on Netflix that was quite good and light hearted, I'm also in to Marvel movies and could watch those films day and night even though I have seen each one countless times. xx

[Hidden in reply to genten]

Oh, that's a good idea. Live a bit of escapism. Thanks xc

[Scarlett13 in reply to Hidden]

A star is born is brilliant!

[Scarlett13 in reply to Hidden]

There is a film on Netflix I’m watching this week called Wonder, looks lovely

[Hidden in reply to Scarlett13]

I will look at them. I am quite a weepy person so if there is anything like Beaches or suchlike then I will need to avoid as I hate blubbing my eyes out in public places he he xx

[genten]

I watched and enjoyed it! hubby even watched it with me which is surprising as he doesn't normally. xxx
