Review

Highlights

The Desire for More

The Little Death taps into what feels like a rarely told story. Think about it, how many shows or movies do you know of which explore the troubles Black couples have with getting pregnant? You may get that on Black Love, maybe a talk show segment, but scripted? It doesn’t really exist – especially when it comes to a committed couple like Camille and Keishon.

So to see them struggle, it testing their relationship, and then the unsolicited advice? Oh, you go through so many different forms of frustration that it helps you appreciate how supportive Keishon is and how, despite the hardships, this strengthens the relationship. Which makes you really wish that 900 some odd days wasn’t shrunk into 18 minutes.

Overall

Our Rating: Positive (Worth Seeing)

The Little Death could potentially hit you hard in all the right places if it was allowed to flesh out the trials and tribulations of having children. For with what we get, it already taps on your nerves and heartstrings. So just imagine what it could do if given the time to really go into watching others get pregnant while you struggle, false positives, and so much advice from people who don’t realize they are making you feel worse. Just thinking about the potential this presented has me in my feelings.
