51 Birch Street

NOW ON DVD

Read the Reviews

"With 51 Birch Street, Doug Block has fashioned an engaging and at times even suspenseful mystery out of his family's story and, along the way, a social history of the American family unfolds, from the uptight 50s through the 70s (a swath of story worthy of Updike, Cheever or Roth) to the present."

– David Hudson, GREENCINE DAILY

Yoko Knox (age 41)

The first impression after watching the film is ‘Thank God women have more choices now!’. I grew up in Asia, but the circumstance was similar back in my parent’s generation. It was automatic to find someone by mid 20’s, get married and have children. People normally didn’t even question about marriage, how it works, what are the expectations, or even if you want to get married or not. Divorce was out of the question.

I’m currently single, have been divorced for 2 years and I’m the happiest ever. My marriage was a constant struggle and we tried the best we could and didn’t work out. I’d rather be alone than being in a miserable relationship. It took me 2 years to recover, but I learned a lot from marriage/divorce, there is no regret.

I feel bad about the mother, but I’m happy to see his father spends the rest of his life happier, with or without a partner.
