First A WARNING If you are pregnant or just had a child do NOT go see this film Really You simply dont need some of these concepts swimming around your mind Trust me
I found this film depressing without being cathartic
It certainly touches on some complex aspects of the situation in the film not least of which is the nearprimitive rejection of a wounded animal by the herd in this case a group of new or expectant mothers And Radha Mitchell does an excellent nuanced job of portraying the shifting emotions and fragility of the main character Justin Louis looking an awful lot like Aidan Quinn and portraying a similar type of character amiable sensitive manly is also quite affecting as the husband struggling helplessly to make things better when almost any move he makes is doomed to be wrong
The other characters too are wellcast and wellacted And the photography is just moody enough to have texture without being distractingly pretty
So what kept this from being a powerful and ultimately satisfying film for me
First of all the pacing which was reminiscent of many French or Swedish films Lots of lingering domestic vignettes almost documentary like setting up who these people are their relationship their world It takes a LONG time to get to the central crisis of the film And once it occurs theres lots more lingering domestic scenes
All of this is justifiable in a film that focuses on the emotional effects of one incident But it assumes rather than compels a certain complicity on the part of the viewer
More fundamentally though the fact that the main character seems preordained for SOME kind of catastrophe makes her big reversal seem more inevitable than shocking It doesnt help that shes portrayed as deeply anxious from the start So much so that at times this feels like an early Polanski film preparing us for something really awful So when the worse does occur rather than being shocked were almost relieved
Add to this the curious choice to give the protagonist a monstrously remote mother and what would be surprising here would be for her to ever experience unshadowed happiness She seems at the least fragile if not quietly but fundamentally disturbed from the start The result is that some of her more excentric behavior later seems to flow not from the tragedy but simply from what we know of her character
Since none of her girlfriends react with common decency never mind nobility about the only truly likeable character we meet is the husband so that its far harder to be intimately affected by the central events here Because it simply seems that even if they had never occured this would never really have been a very happy world
Still a good if not memorable film Especially for under 500000 And a surprising bit of light at the end some of the most beautiful credits Ive seen in a while
