Best Part of this Documentary


When she looked into the lives of her grandparents and how her parents were as children and youths in an early society... THAT was truly fascinating.

Definitely. Actually found her father x10 more interesting than her. Wish the Doc would have focused more on him. She was harsh to her father and almost disrespectful. Seemed like a decent enough father despite his background.

I thought her father was somewhat cold and unemotional, with the exception being when he played with Jasper for the first time. His phone message to Nina when his wife died during their trip abroad was very odd; it sounded like he was completely removed from the situation. A lot of his personality was explained, I thought, near the end of the movie when it was revealed that his father was an alcoholic who died in a house fire when he (Nina's father) was young.

I agree about Nina being self absorbed, and since she made the choice to have the baby, it was really up to her to support Jasper.

I agree that her father was a very interesting subject. She came off as a spoiled brat in comparison.

I didn't like that she didn't include her dad in the "special thanks to:" section in the credits. But I guess it was to be expected. Her dad was so nice to her, agreeing to answer her annoying questions and accusations, and always with the utmost patience.

She doesn't know how lucky she is to have a dad like him. He could have been a whiner and complainer all his life and blame it all on his alcoholic father. Instead, he rolled up his sleeves, and worked hard to provide for his family. He never complained, and loves his daughter so much that he put up with this documentary.

How come Kirk (her brother) wasn't interviewed for more than a few seconds? Maybe Nina can't stand him? Or perhaps he politely declined to be in front of the camera for too long (unlike her dad, who lovingly played along with the utmost patience)?

Nina, I don't know if you read these comments, but the fact that so many people feel so strongly about you and your relationship with your dad shows that you did a great job with your documentary! It is very engaging, there are no dull moments, and everything is not only real but also very realistic. I caught the documentary on TV in the middle of it, but after watching for a couple of seconds, I knew I had to watch the rest. Very intelligent and engaging film!

I agree. It was fascinating to hear about the other stories. My favorite part was when she was asking someone's mom if she would rather live in today's time or back then when marriage and kids was expected to start by 20. I would have loved an entire documentary on that.
