Baby Talk

About This Movie

So, 'Baby Talk' is an interesting slice of late 70s, early 80s television drama. It's all about the complexities of parenthood, wrapped in a pretty straightforward narrative. Mary and Paul seem like they have it all—careers, a nice home—but they’re just not ready for a baby. The pacing rolls along at an unhurried pace, letting the emotions simmer rather than boil over. The performances are quite sincere, even if the director remains a bit of a mystery. Tessa, their neighbor, brings in a youthful perspective that stirs things up a bit. It’s got that TV movie vibe, but it digs deeper into the fears and hopes surrounding parenthood than you might expect. Not groundbreaking, but definitely worth a look for its themes.
