Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 07/03/2017
Something that both Nicolas Cage and Faye Dunaway will want to leave off their filmographies, and at this point that's saying something. Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 06/30/2017
The laughably stilted "Inconceivable" is mostly notable for who's in it - and how poorly served they are by the script and direction. Go to Full Review
CJ Sheu Review Film Review 08/30/2022
Baker was given only fifteen days to shoot, [...] so it’s a miracle we have such an entertaining film at all, artistry be damned. At the end of the day, if the only significant valid complaint is a bad wig, that’s not too shabby for a first outing. Go to Full Review

1/5
This is a movie without suspense, nothing remotely sexy, and not even bad enough to have its own warped personality. Go to Full Review

4/5
Inconceivable offers a mysterious thriller that rises above usual genre tropes, becoming something very interesting indeed. Go to Full Review

This preposterous, stilted, often hilariously terrible domestic thriller twists maternal yearnings into a toxic parody of femininity. Go to Full Review

Melissa L @Agent99 Aug 26 I liked it. It was a new take on the Rebecca DeMornay film "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle." I recommend it.

See more LEAH L 04/04/2024 That was 1 hour and 45 min out of my life I'll never get back! After the first 10 minutes I wanted out! I watched it thinking it might get better, but it never did. The best part was the end, knowing I'd never have to watch it again! If I were Nick Cage, I'd be embarrassed by his awful performance. The acting was bad, the cinematography was horrible. There was so much in the movie that really didn't need to be there! It's too bad, the story line is great and I feel like a lot of people can relate. It was just poorly directed and executed. See more Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 03/18/2024 A movie that has Oscar Winners Faye Dunaway (Dunston Checks In, Voyage of the Damned) and even Nicolas Cage (Brubaker, Fire Birds) doing this just for a paycheck. This "Thriller" has no suspense whatsoever and is an bore See more Victor O 06/29/2023 Another day, another straight-to-video movie. This one with some decent Academy Award-winning actors in thankless roles with two lesser-known leading ladies. Angela and Brian are a wealthy doctor couple that has had bad luck in having children late in life, so they have entrusted a surrogate. Years later, after a miscarriage, they intend to try again with another surrogate. All this, as they meet a mysterious woman named Katie who grows close via a friend of theirs. But it becomes clear that this woman is too close as eventually, she manages to become their surrogate, but she is devoted to their family, especially their children. Angela's suspicions become sharpened through small tells in Katie's behavior, leading to a dangerous revelation. Before watching this movie, I felt with its cast, it practically played out like a Lifetime movie, but I got to admit, this was a nice surprise. Nicki Whelan has appeared in small movies but here she displayed phenomenal acting but everybody else came off as uninterested with its two Oscar winners or trying too hard with Gina Gershon. But it has its moments and I enjoyed them. See more Read all reviews
