JayJan 3, 2025There is no movie like this. It never blinks or winks. It locks eyes with you and never breaks focus. Losing someone you love is something everyone experiences and almost everyone copes with. But nothing is ever healed and if faced with the same cosmically weird and yet…

This film gets more heartbreaking on every watch. Glazer reaches towards the impossible to explore the very real feelings of grief and love. The improbable premise itself is enough to make your head spin: what if your dead husband came back, full of love for you? What if…

The next Stanley Kubrick? I don't think we'll ever get another Kubrick...But I do think I'm okay with having a Jonathan Glazer. Glazer is an extremely visual director. In that regard, he is very similar to Kubrick. Every sequence is more focused on the frame than what…
sprizzleJun 2, 2023Desplat’s score is one for the ages, second only to Bacall’s “I never liked Sean.” that it inspired as much laughter as it did while never undercutting the brutality of its sadness, kind of an insane miracle. Danny Huston & co. "me and my friends would have beat that kid…

Slow as hell, then BOOM—creepy kid says he’s Nicole Kidman’s dead husband. Uncomfortable, pervy vibes. Couldn’t stop watchin’, felt like a car crash. Needed a Purell shower after. Zero rum hams. Never again.
jovanna dislikedBirthi watched this with my mom 😭
Rory likedBirthI love films about grief so this was for me. I kind of wish she just stayed single at the end for a bit and then met someone else she actually liked. The little boy was creepy, but good. A bit uncomfortable but I suppose it’s intentional.

Kind of weird because who would ever fall for something like this. But if you’ve loved someone enough you’d give anything to have them back in any form. I wouldn’t know but I get it.
marty likedBirthdefinitely an uncomfortable watch. dont regret it but probably wont be rewatching it.
Hank Jenkins lovedBirthA film about grief that asks questions other films are too scared to ask

A paranormal mystery without a spine. It has no suspense because it has no belief in itself.
Ray Bennett
The Hollywood Reporter
If Birth succeeds more as a source of visual and aural enthrallment than as supernatural narrative, it's largely because the final third hovers uncomfortably between the mystical and the earthbound.
Dennis Lim
Village Voice
The ick-factor deepens as the story progresses, but the mystery never does.
