Reception

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 86% approval rating based on 14 reviews, with an average rating of 6.2/10. [5]

Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian called the documentary "charming", but also added that the film is "pretty obvious and soft-focus[ed]". [6] Julian White of Lettle White Lies wrote "No great surprises in the early segments, but the intensity grows as the shadows of age and illness fall". [7] Cath Clarke of Time Out wrote: "You would need to be made of stone not to be charmed by the wit and warmth of these women". [8] The Village Voice 's Michelle Orange said "It's around the birthing years that Wardrop's extremely selective homemaker's oral history-crafted to soothe with its placid framing and cheery, meditative tone-begins to close around you like doily-papered walls". [9]
