Baby Done is a 2020 New Zealand comedy film directed by Curtis Vowell, and executive produced by Taika Waititi, written by Sophie Henderson, and starring Rose Matafeo.[1]

Plot

Zoe is a young woman who discovers she's pregnant. But, acting in denial, she tries to live a wild single life before the baby arrives. Her boyfriend, Tim, has the opposite reaction to the baby news and goes into nesting mode.[2]

Cast

Production

Married couple Henderson and Vowell made the semi-autobiographical film out of their own fear of growing old and settling down.[3]

Release

The film premiered in Australia and New Zealand on 22 October 2020.[4] It was later released in the UK and Ireland on 22 January 2021.[5]

Reception

The Guardian praised "Matafeo’s wonderful, compulsively affable performance is core to the film’s irresistible good naturedness: its spirit, pluck, bounce."[6] On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 92% based on 39 reviews, with an average rating of 6.9/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "A lightly humorous look at impending parenthood, Baby Done finds laughs -- and moments of genuine honesty -- in a life-altering event."[7]
