The Baby Project from Director Alan J. Chriest tackles the fundamental question of whether people should have children, rather than the more common query of whether they want children. Through a skillful blend of visuals and audio, the film immerses the audience in the overwhelming reality of parenthood – a deliberate choice to mirror the chaotic nature of a parent’s everyday life.
As the story progresses, it delves into the financial aspects of raising children, shedding light on the significant costs involved. Additionally, the film doesn’t shy away from addressing the critical issue of child abuse, effectively making the audience aware of the magnitude of the problem.
Chriest masterfully weaves together all the elements of the message in a concise and comprehensible manner. The visuals evoke a range of emotions, each delivered at a manageable pace. The film accomplishes more than simply prompting viewers to contemplate their desire for children; it compels them to consider the multifaceted aspects of having and raising a child.
In conclusion, I give The Baby Project 5 out of 5 stars
