A talented interior designer struggling with her biological clock(and her family, friends and society insisting that she get a kid) agrees to a clinical trial to fix it, and things take a turn for the worse.
This is a highly effective piece of elevated horror. There's some incredibly visceral gore. It's only 85 and a half minutes long if you don't count the end credits, and I understand why some say that it should have been an episode of an anthology series like Twilight Zone instead. If it were even 10 minutes longer I would be saying it should be trimmed. Diana Agron delivers an amazing performance as Ella, the protagonist. Honestly, it's worth watching at least once just to experience that. The visual metaphors are very obvious and a little of the thematic material is repeated maybe one or two times too many - "my name is Dr Elizabeth Simmons" especially.
It is very much the product of the Jewish 30-something female writer-director Alexis Jacknow, exploring the anxiety felt especially by her and people in the same situation. Part of this is seen in how it incorporates the Holocaust, fears that it might be repeated, and Jewish guilt. Some have felt that it mishandled Shoah, I disagree. I found it to be appropriate, in good taste, and I think when something so awful happens to a people they should have a lot of freedom in examining what it does to them.
I recommend this to anyone who wants something that honestly looks at the pressures to reproduce and all of the concerns that come with. 7/10.
