Baby Whisperer aka Christian pro-life propaganda
armanfatic15 August 2018
I am a film critic, and usually I don't write reviews on IMDB, but this one was so bad I had an urge to write about it.

In 86 minutes you follow the team of people who think they can fix relationship between mothers/fathers and babies. Basically these "baby whisperers" talk with babies, tell parents what every movement of baby means, but not by any scientific measurement.

It goes so deep that in one moment "whisperer" tells to the camera "Parents think this movement means no but I think it means something else". To simplify it, there is this random Austrian guy walking around your house, thinking he knows what he is doing, but mostly he is trying to predict what will babies next move be. He fails a lot but when he gets it, parents are just amazed.

This wouldn't be such a big problem, if these "whisperers" don't start saying things like medications for ADHD and other disorders don't fix problems, this is the way to do it, or giving medication to mother to have easier birth is bad, embryo has feelings and strong connection to mother and its life matters etc.

Only factual things in this documentary is actually common knowledge like what mother eats/drinks/does during pregnancy may affect child.

Not to be so hard on a filmmaker, material for this film isn't that bad, the problem is choosing a side in discussion and following it. If these "whisperers" were opposed by regular medical doctors and their scientific knowledge it might have been interesting documentary about perception of earliest stage of human life.
