The film’s documentation of being new to parenting is candid. It begins with the filmmaker talking of her debilitation as a pregnant woman. The pregnancy feels endless. She wants to return to work. After giving birth, Joyce attempts to regain her position as a working filmmaker while also caring for her new baby. The changes to both her and her husband’s professional lives are remarkable and frustrating. The new parents love the baby, Sarah, but must recognize the limitations she puts on their careers. Joyce tries to edit her latest project with the baby on her lap, Sarah grasping for the film stock; her husband, Tom Cole, a writer, attempts a meeting with his editor during the baby’s feeding time.

What makes this film so remarkable and a perfect candidate for preservation is its persistent timeliness and that it makes public the private frustrations a woman has when she encounters the conflicting nature of two great and powerful loves – the love for herself and the love for her offspring. That revelation is at the heart of the film.
