Babes

Directed by Pamela Adlon
United States
2024
109 mins

After becoming pregnant from a one-night stand, Eden leans on her married best friend and mother of two, Dawn, to guide her through gestation and beyond, in Pamela Adlon’s feature directorial debut. Adlon is best known for creating and starring in the long-running FX show Better Things.

Starring and co-written by Ilana Glazer, who is best known for her work on the show Broad City (which she co-created), Glazer brings her signature and wholly unique brand of comedy to Babes. Crude, crass, and unapologetically feminist, Babes is both a laugh-out-loud romp and a truly touching story about friendship and impending motherhood.
