Ne vous laissez pas berner par le début mignon et comique, cette histoire ne sera définitivement pas drôle. Je suis bien convaincue que c’est problématique, dans une relation, quand l’un des partenaires devient fou et que l’autre essaie de faire face à la situation. Mais cela prend une tout autre dimension lorsqu’il s’agit d’une mère qui, en raison de ses convictions, met gravement en danger la santé de son propre enfant pendant la grossesse et les premiers mois (« parce qu’une mère sait toujours ce qu’il y a de mieux pour son enfant »). À mon avis, c’est vraiment très dommageable. Vers la fin, la cinématographie rend le film presque horrifique, le système social américain semble irréel et absurde, et on se demande comment tout cela va se terminer – à ma grande surprise, de manière inattendue. Je ne peux rien reprocher aux acteurs, Alba Rohrwacher est terrifiante dans le calme et la non-violence avec lesquels elle joue sa folie, et quant à Adam Driver, il s’élève avec chaque rôle selon moi.

Wow, that was unpleasant to watch! A conjugal/family crisis portrayed as a psychological horror. The parents, Adam Driver and (the excellent!) Alba Rohrwacher, can not agree on how to raise and, especially, feed their newborn child. The initial verbal disagreements gradually escalate into an open and increasingly tense conflict. The rather unpleasant camera angles generate a feeling of uneasiness and anxiety. And then there is the defenceless child at stake, which doesn’t help the viewer, either. An impressive film, but I have some problems with its ending, I’m not really sure how to read it. In fact, I feel that the filmmakers themselves are unsure whether to take one side or the other, or to remain impartial. Taking one of the sides doesn’t fit into tone of the film, taking the other side is unethical. And I don’t see a completely unbiased portray, either. So, I don’t know. But it’s recommendable to watch and debate afterwards.

A rough human piece with a child as the main character whom the whole story revolves around and who doesn’t have a clue what’s going on. If you have a family, this movie will make you feel sick to your stomach; and if you don’t, you’ll still feel sick. But not because of the actors whose performances were very solid, including the kid.

I don't quite understand the genre of this film (a woman running around a hospital after a C-section is without a doubt sci-fi), but for me it's closest to exploitation, where the main roles are a starving child and an overfed director who has a Hitchcock upturn - the taxidermic symbolism, wtf? I have to say that as a housing war for a baby filmed by a nasty fisheye, it's extremely entertaining, a B-movie, and solidly acted. But most of all, one must not take it seriously. #kviff2015

What a disturbing film. I had to give it five stars, because (unlike other films) I don't think I’ll forget this experience any time soon. Alba Rohrwacher was excellent in the role of a dumb bitch the likes of which the Internet is full, advising each other on how to outsmart all the doctors and regulations whose only goal is to kill their Summer Storm by lethal vaccinations, wholesome food and use of common sense. The invasion of these mothers and all those who want to enrich our society with such medieval elements practically guarantees the rest of us a close encounter with the bubonic plague, for which I can only thank our idle government. Yes, a film that can get me worked up like this, as was the authors’ intention, deserves nothing but five stars.

The film is absolutely perfect. Adam Driver shows that he is one of the best actors of his generation, versatile and great. Alba Rohrwacher, alongside him, portrayed a role in such a way that you understand everything that is happening, even if you don't necessarily agree with it. It was a very depressing experience, but a high-quality film.
