The lives of two people decimated with the loss of their newborn baby girl. Grabbing the viewers' attention from the off, as every parent's nightmare is lived out in graphic detail at the close of a thirty minute escalation that lays the foundations for a bridge to the unimaginable, a trajectory paved with chaos, veiled and shrouded in turmoil, suspended on tenterhooks as tense and as taught as Tacoma. With anticipation and expectation set, it's a little disappointing to find this resonance, once established and secured soon decays and rapidly fades, from the deeps to the shallows, as the story begins to mainstream with its contemporaries, as opportunity, empathy and originality are lost and the only structure left standing embodied through the performance of Vanessa Kirby, who will surely go on to much bigger and better crossings.

Predictable. Explicit scenes were not necessary, added nothing to the story. Lactation doesn't last 2 months after delivery if mother is not nursing. Maternity diaper? Why do we have to see it? Her Mother is the age of Grandmother? I didn't watch the trial part, for I lost all interest. Main characters acting wasn't bad, except during "delivery" part, she did't even break a sweat and overall it was not realistic- every woman who delivered a baby naturally would tell you that. So there is really nothing for even 2 stars.

What a complete nothing. No new insight here. This could have been SO MUCH BETTER! I think they tried so hard to not follow formula that it backfired. Snoozed till the end.

New born baby dies woman most affected. And in typical fashion in today's hollywood husbands grief was tossed aside and all movie long is treated like garbage. Shows you how society treats it's father figures.

Okay, so to be more understood. This movie falls in the genre I deeply resonate with but this film lacks credibility on all levels. The only real possibility is the relationship dynamics between the lovers, but even that seems at times kindof odd. How can some characters be portrayed in such a way that their actions are contradictory. For me, the annoyingly stupid actions of the protagonist as she is wanted to be seen a smart individual is frustrating. Even more, it is so predictable that you get annoyed by the single fact that any human being on this planet would feel the necessity of taking certain actions. The film, itself, has some nice cinematography, but nothing out of the ordinary. Marriage Story, Nocturnal Animals, and more others from this genre of movies are at a different level and can not be included with this mess of a movie.

It's a well acted tragic story that starts off excellently, but falls apart bit by bit the longer it goes until it ends on a whimper, as if the story got tired. Vanessa Kirby is equal parts excellent, and yet underacted in a sort of apathetic manner, where it began to hurt the story itself because her behavior was not shown to have anything underlying it, but her surface level was her entire level. Shia was excellent, as was the Mother. The film is very much in the style of Hungarian films, as the director is, and I say this in the way that this film could and would have been shot as a Hungarian film and played out exactly the same, if it had not been North American. In fact, it feels like an American adaptation of an existing Hungarian film, but this is it. The tone of the film jerks around somewhat, going with hard, every day realism, with odd smatterings of symbolism that just don't mesh well and come up like worn down speed humps on your drive, so instead of you getting seamless symbolism, they are stark and you are slapped aware of them when they show up. The dialogue is very good and realistic, except for a few instances where they get speechy and you start to fall out of the immersion because of it. The cinematography is very great, and the music works well. I think with some tweaks this could have been a great, even excellent movie, but what we got is a hampered result.
