“Babies” is a delightful movie! The babies coo, cry, display anger, become cranky, play, love on their mothers and fathers and show an emotional range which all humans, or older “babies”, will appreciate! This fantastic documentary takes us to Opuwo, Namibia, Mongolia near Bayanchandmani; Tokyo, Japan and San Francisco, California. Although the cultures vary the results of the infants are alike. Their interactions with other babies and their parents are not to be missed. I wondered if this film would drag along in spots but I enjoyed it from start to finish. These babies reveal lots of personality!

This is a fascinating documentary and definitely entertaining. It is remarkable and educational. One mother is challenged to keep her three babies happy at the same time. Due to several scenes of naturalistic and maternal nudity of the mothers which reveal bare breasts, often for breast feeding, we are recommending the film for ages twelve plus but some parents will be fine with their children under the age of twelve viewing the movie. Although often known for crying, these babies will make many viewers laugh. We gladly award our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to this film. Inspiring! It’s a remarkable film which features the love of the parents as well as the unpredictability of the babies.
