Will give this another try. My cinema trips have been getting hijacked by life lately.
Not what I expected. A very good film, but so disheartening. A heavily pregnant woman/new mother exclusively catering to the people around her and trying to make everyone else except for herself feel better. Comer’s character directly says to her boyfriend, ‘I’ll look after you the way you’ve looked after me’ but I see no evidence that anyone took care of her. (I mean, yes, she tells people that the boyfriend did take care of her for a bit, but I don’t know). Gives birth alone, acts as a therapist to boyfriend and his father who are both weepy whiners. So ****ing depressing. I suppose that does make one back the protagonist but how awful. Not sure why so many films have weepy useless men in the last ten years. Ah yes, breaking stereotypes, that must be it. All the boyfriend does is whine about how things ‘feel’.
Watchable though, very much so.
Gotta give it to the protagonist, she is cool. Hat off. Overall, I really enjoyed this. Impressed that
WARNING: spoilers below
no one died, not the protagonist nor the baby or the boyfriend. That’s harder to pull off than multiple deaths.
