Hmm…Heaven Baby was a tough one to watch…We appreciate the writer for touching on this sensitive topic of family planning and the actors did so well 🙂
We were honestly left frozen at the end and we believe you will too
~Worth Watching~

Delicious
—The screenwriter told Heaven Baby in such a comprehensible and relatable manner. We got Mohini’s (Oreka Godis) dilemma, having to decide between pursuing a successful career and starting a family.
We were also sympathizing with Jaiye (Ibrahim Suleiman) who was standing by his wife but desperate to be a father. The flashback scenes were nicely executed without obstructing the scenario.
The movie showed in a beautiful way that it’s possible to balance both career and family lives, it’s all about proper organization and collaboration
—The entire cast convinced us with natural acting that really engaged us
—Heaven Baby challenged the ‘my body, my choice’ slogan by providing a different perspective that factored in the husband’s desires
—The pale color palette worked well to underscore Heaven Baby’s somber mood

Bland
—The squeaking of the body mics when the actors were moving or hugging was a little bothering 🙁
