The baby’s coming. Right now.
But Martha and her partner aren’t worried about being at home. In fact, they planned it this way.
What they didn’t plan for was tragedy. You’d think it would bring the family closer together, but this is a story of separation. People feel pain and seek peace in different ways.
The birthing scene alone will rock you. But the whole movie is expertly done. Editing toys with our perceptions. Direction keeps us close, because even the smallest detail adds to the picture. And last but not least, Martha and her mother deliver champion performances: We’re not watching people change, we’re watching their most intimate thoughts in action.
Prepare to have your emotions thrown on a skillet.
