Doubting Thomas

Please can I just sit down and watch a movie without being hit with politics? Without being preached to? Ugh.

How would you feel if your child was born looking a completely different race? How would you feel suddenly finding out you have a black parent? How would those around you respond? Does that change how they feel about you and how you feel about yourself!;

The budget was obviously lacking and some of the acting in some scenes was a bit too much but I was able to stay interested and see how things play out. The main character, a white man is shocked when his white wife gives birth to a black baby. He starts suspecting infidelity, not trusting his black best friend and stressed with the judgement and questions from strangers and those around him thinking the baby was/is adopted. I appreciated the thought provoking.situations brought up in this shorr movie.

A topic some may feel uncomfortable about. It makes you confront prejudices and biases you may not have known you had. It's important in this era.

Good actors, better dialog between the couples and best friend dynamics.

Those that keep giving it ratings that are low may just need to wait 10 years to watch it again and appreciate it.

We live in an era where it's ok to out right have a mixed marriage, yet can't believe we are all related by 1 source? Honestly, the cursing was kinda necessary if you were raised to understand cursing is just an outlet. Words don't hurt until they do.

Recommended to watch alone. When you do you may appreciate the free BIPOC education.

This movie starts off slow and doesn't get much better. The concept would have been more believeable had the main character had some characteristics of an African American or it turned out that her mother was half black (similiar to the actress from Diagnosis Murder). What a dumb ending!!! Really!?! I feel like part of my life was wasted watching this movie.

I'm not sure why viewers are giving this film such low marks. I found the premise very interesting, and the character development well thought out. The acting was great too. I started to watch it on a whim and glad I took the chance. If you are looking for good indie drama check it out.
