No, there are indeed no good Dutch films!
Again, this is just a piece of junk.

The story is supposed to be great, but it's just not worded well.
Dutch directors have a knack for breaking off a scene after 2 sentences and moving on to the next scene. In this way you cinematically jump from one piece to the next, from the doctor, to an evening dinner, to a garage and again to a doctor. In no time Romeo is "born" and the frustrations on the one hand and not processing it well on the other.

We are now also in the middle of a pregnancy, but this film does not appeal to me at all.

I am surprised to find that I had already seen the film. I really thought I was seeing him for the first time. Apparently he didn't stick around after all. A pregnant woman and her husband are told that their baby is not viable. And so they have to deal with that. Not really a catchy subject for me. But the film is very well acted by the lead actors. And so I think about it about the same as last time. I'll give it half a star more now.
