Praise for the film
"I watched My So-Called Selfish Life with my mother, and we both really loved it. We paused it several times to share our experiences, and we cried together and bonded in a very deep and beautiful way" –Hannah
“Provocative…looks at the pernicious side of the traditional ways women are validated.” –The Guardian
“An urgent documentary. At a time when reproductive rights in America is under attack, it’s a movie that feels timelier than ever” –Dua Lipa
"Tackles everything from reproductive oppression and pronatalism to being joyfully single and child-free–with meticulous research, deft analysis and just the right dose of humor.” –Ms Magazine

About the Film
My So-Called Selfish Life is a paradigm-shifting documentary about one of our greatest social taboos: choosing not to become a mother.
Titled after one of the myths it challenges, this entertaining, inspiring, and thought-provoking film draws on a heady mix of pop culture, science, and history to reveal the diverse lives of people who have said no to having children.
With brisk, cheeky humor and an intersectional lens, My So-Called Selfish Life spotlights an overlooked facet of reproductive justice and shows us what full reproductive agency should look like–whether we want children or not.
