Leave your thoughts about Baby God.
| The A.V. ClubKatie RifeStories like these are why 23andMe has you sign a waiver when you send in that tube of saliva, and after watching it, you’ll never think about those tests—or a trip to the gynecologist’s office—the same way again. |
| The New York TimesAmy NicholsonOlson’s poetic b-roll and Will Epstein’s soft, pulsing piano score buff away the lurid shocks. |
| Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonGiven how early the illicit-insemination angle of Fortier’s history is revealed, viewers will suspect that even worse is to come, and they will be right. But that doesn’t mean those same viewers might not have other questions. |

| User ReviewJLuis_001The premise was much more interesting than its execution. It's a bit annoying that it doesn't manage to express its themes in a better way. The premise deals with Dr. Quincy Fortier, a fertility specialist who cared for thousands of womenThe premise was much more interesting than its execution. It's a bit annoying that it doesn't manage to express its themes in a better way. The premise deals with Dr. Quincy Fortier, a fertility specialist who cared for thousands of women and inseminated them using his own sperm, without their knowledge or their consent. The ethical abuse is simply inconceivable, and when you think that that is the whole point, the documentary also brings out to the light, the enormous darkness of his own personal and professional identity. Hardly memorable but equally entertaining and upsetting. |
