First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in the baby carriage. For filmmaker Nina Davenport, that old playground song didn’t go as planned. Single at age forty-one, she decides to have a baby on her own, never minding the odds stacked against her or the extra hurdles of living in New York City. Filming the whole process, she excels at candour and comedy. Think of a real-life Girls, only with more grown-up problems.
I saw FIRST COMES LOVE while at the New York Film Academy when it was almost final cut and loved it! It tackles big questions like reimagining the contemporary family and single parenthood in a strikingly personal, funny and up-front way.
