What are critics saying?
Screen Daily by Fionnuala Halligan
A small-scale, covert glimpse of the lives led behind the headlines.
Midwives partially plays like a feature film, especially in its second half, when it takes a more contemplative approach with emotional “slice of life sequences” and moves swiftly across years with touches of humour.
The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw
This is a dark reminder that even childbirth, that most universal human experience, can be clouded by sectarianism and suspicion.
A compelling and hopeful insight into the turbulence leading up to the 2021 coup.
