Community Reviews
Viewers generally praise 'Sage homme' for its heartfelt and humorous portrayal of an unconventional journey into midwifery. The film is celebrated for its strong performances, particularly by Melvin Boomer and Karin Viard, and its ability to blend emotional depth with light-hearted moments effectively. While the film educates and entertains, some viewers felt the ending didn't quite match the quality of the rest, and a few found certain scenes, especially those depicting childbirth, to be a bit graphic.
