Doubting Thomas

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.

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.

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

Beside the blatant race baiting this film cemters around the acting is awful. Nobody is believable or even likeable.

When a seemingly Caucasian couple Tom and Jen, Will McFadden and Sarah Butler respectively, become parents to a newborn black baby it will throw uncertainty and turmoil into their marriage and lives. To add to all the uncertainty, Tom's fellow lawyer and best friend Ron (Jamie Hector) is black, so Tom suspects Jen and Ron may have had an affair.

Unfortunately, I felt, as a viewer, manipulated and somewhat lectured to by this film, even as the movie progressed and more was revealed. If the intention of McFadden, who was also the director and writer here, was to make the viewer feel uncomfortable it did accomplish that to a large degree.

Overall, this film did get me to think about some of the issues it raised, but the story was told, as mentioned, in such a manipulative and simplistic way that it lost its likely intended effect on me.
