The New Man

About This Movie

So 'The New Man' is this interesting blend of comedy and documentary that really dives into the whole parenting experience. It’s not your typical birth story—Josh Appignanesi, the director, points the lens at himself and his wife as they navigate the chaos and hilarity of becoming parents. The tone swings from light-hearted banter to some real introspection, which gives it a nice balance. There's this rawness to how he approaches the topic of fatherhood, especially set against the backdrop of modern manhood and the whole assisted reproduction scene. The pacing has this rhythm that feels both candid and reflective, allowing you to really sit with their experiences. It’s a distinctive take on identity and family that feels very real.
