Movie #1667 ........................."Private Life"

Movie #1667 "Private Life" (streaming Netflix) This was a very effective, tense movie about what a married couple is going through to conceive a baby.  They try everything possible, and while they are doing that, the viewer gets to see all the options and how difficult each is --- very enlightening, esp. to someone like me who never learned all the ins and outs to the many procedures available.  This movie tears at your heartstrings as they plow on through every adversity to get a child.  The ending is so powerful and I've never seen the credits done in quite this way, and to me, it worked.  I would give this 4 out of 5 --- this film is not for everyone because there are many scenes that are super tough to watch, but it comes across so honest and raw, that I felt I was in their home with them living the experiences with them.  Excellent acting.  In fact, I looked up the young girl to see what else she has done, she was that good.
