Movie #330 "Babies" is a wonderful movie full of wonder -------it's like eavesdropping on these 4 babies as they go from being born until hey take their first steps alone---- it's about how they deal with their environment, what they do when they are on their own "playing," how they interact with others, how they deal with sound/music, animals in their life, bathing, and a multitude of other situations. I enjoyed the humor in some of the scenes and the way one baby is juxtaposed to the next one (so a shout out to the adroit editing) . But I do realize it is not a film for everyone --- it moves much too slowly for those action thriller movie advocates; but for indie fans and ones who enjoy watching kids, this one is for you! lots of fun and quite educational, as well.
