She drove me into a corner, then forced me to go beyond my limits. She made me confront the absolute: love, sacrifice, tenderness, abandonment. She dislocated me, transformed me. Why didn't anyone warn me? Why doesn't anyone ever talk about this?" Un heureux événement, or an intimate view of motherhood, sincere and with no taboos. (imdb)

I can't really relate to the situation since I have no children and I'm not a woman, but nonetheless... the movie sums up perfectly my expectations of what can happen after the birth of your child, the frustrations, fights, separation, depression etc. The main actor, Eliette, shows a great performance of the mess that happens to the mother after the hormone overdose. Sadly, the husband part of the movie is kind of shallow and unconvincing.

Louise Bourgoin was nice and the script snappy, but all of that was lost in the latter half. Story counted nicely the difficulties of maternity, though I expected more the same in the end. Pio Marmaï was not that good choice for a father. Or rather his part was not that well written.
