Monica & David



Filmmaker Alexandra Codina explores the nuances of love and commitment in this cinematic portrait of a soon-to-be married couple with Down syndrome.

With all the scripted stuff I have been watching in the Romantic category, I can't believe how much of a relief it was to find this film. I have only seen one film in my time about Down Syndrome, and it wasn't even a documentary. It was more of a joke to watch in high school. Not because of what is was about, its because sensitivity and understanding did not exist in the 70's.

When I started to watch this documentary, I was expecting all the years of TLC type shows to rub off and make this poor quality entertainment based on someone's disability. This wasn't. This is a 100% a documentary following a very true love story of Monica and David. Honestly, we all think we know what love is, and trust me that after watching this you will second guess yourself. The feelings that these two have for each other is true, unscripted and genuine.  Like that of a child for their stuff friend or a cat for their owner.

If you and your partner enjoy documentaries, this is the movie to watch with no question. You honestly cannot understand until you watch it how much it will warm your heart and your soul.
