Birth

USA 2004, 100 minutes
Dir. Jonathan Glazer
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Drama, Suspense/Crime / Psycho

Feat. Nicole Kidman, Lauren Bacall, Danny Huston, Anne Heche

Aroview: An absorbing psychological drama about a young widow (Kidman) whose New York life is disrupted when a 10 year-old boy claims to be the reincarnation of her dead husband.

Imbued with a chilly sense of hope, dread, and wonderment, this has been justly acclaimed as a provocative tale of the supernatural in the spirit of Polanski and Kubrick. Never descending into prurience, events chiefly rest on a remarkable turn from Kidman underscored by dir. Glazer's (SEXY BEAST) ominous, skillful visualisation.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
2 stars (Good Try) The screenplay wasn't that interesting - you either believe in reincarnation or you don't. However, there is an excellent adult cast to take you through. ~Tubbs
