51 Birch Street on DVD

31k8X6DIfwL._AA_SL160_.jpgIf you’ve been around my blog for a while, you know how much I love Doug Block’s film 51 Birch Street, so it should come as no surprise that I’m excited to announce you can now have the film on . I took a quick look at the Amazon page for the film, and there is great user comment that I’ll share, just so you don’t think it’s just me who loves this film:

“I always find myself pleasantly surprised when I see a unflinching, emotionally accurate, and unwaveringly honest portrayal of a woman by a man. 51 BIRCH STREET is all that and more. The filmmaker Doug Block is clearly admiring of his mother, Mina, yet unafraid to show her character warts and all, in the ultimate testimony to the belief that love is being able to see someone’s full character, but still really love them just as they are.”–Sara Booth
