I found this a less-than-fulfilling cinematic experience. But I have to give Morgenthaler credit for what we used to call "moxie"-whatever the hell he's doing, or thinks he's doing, he's fully committed to it ...

Rated: 2/4

New York Times

A troubling example of what can only be called a fertility thriller.

Los Angeles Times

Writer-director Anders Morgenthaler's conclusion comes far too hastily and haphazardly, with a disregard for plot details or plausible storytelling.

A highly intriguing film and fresh take on a subject that is always sad to watch.

Writer/director Anders Morganthaler has made an odd film that seems as unsure of its point as it does its execution.

Very irritating but had to watch what happened in the end...my ending would be that she stopped at the store for baby formula FIRST then hit the friggin' highway outta that town..take Christian with her..she moves to another country..put Christian in rehab and they all live happily ever after..Instant FAM!!

The storyline was pretty good for the most part, but I could have used a little more action and less R rated scenarios.

Strange film. Strange people. Rather experimental film about a woman, a bit insane but rich and in high position, wanting a baby. She tries in different ways and it all fails. Only a miracle could do it and that is what happens. Maybe it is some sort of fairy tale for post-menopausal women. Some events in the film may have happen in real life, and that is sure sad.

It was a little interesting until about the halfway mark...then it's total crap.

You'd be best ignoring the reviews of these misguided critics who are more content watching the latest Star Wars... This is one of Kim's best works; it's the story of a a woman terrorized by her own maternal drive, artfully framed by beautiful composition and immersed in a horrifying aesthetic. If you prefer your films thought-provoking and visually stimulating, this is your pick. If you like your cinema like you like your television, you better move along.

Gripping, original, intense, thought-provoking, challenging, suspenseful: if you are willing to enter the dark world of this film on its terms, you will have a powerful and disturbing experience.
