Doula is a 2022 American comedy film written by Arron Shiver, directed by Cheryl Nichols and starring Troian Bellisario, Shiver, Will Greenberg and Chris Pine.
The film premiered at the Seattle International Film Festival on April 20, 2022 and was initially going to be released to digital and on-demand on June 20, 2022.[1] The digital and on-demand release date was moved to June 28, 2022.[2][3]
Barbara Shulgasser of Common Sense Media awarded the film three stars out of five.[4]
Michael Nordine of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote, "...it’s rare for a star of (Chris Pine)'s level to be involved with such a small, intimate project, and there’s little doubt that Doula was a labor of love. Even so, the film rarely being ha-ha funny makes it drag."[5]
Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times gave the film a positive review and wrote, "The running time is too long, and the finale’s screaming too prolonged; but, unlike childbirth, this good-natured movie delivers a dry, funny and utterly painless experience."[6]
