Summary: A metaphysical love story that explores the space between what we know and what we feel. Like many fairy tales, Birth is part romance, part mystery, and part family drama - woven into a magical whole about love, mortality and the unknown.
Very well done and acted (Kidman), but the story was kind of what for. Why to put so much attention on the story which was not chewed till the end. It's been for a long time I saw this piece. The details has been forgotten; so, it cannot be so unforgottable one.
About as close as anybody has ever touched the work of Stanley Kubrick in terms of style and substance, "Birth" is a draining portrait of uncertainty, faith, and personal dominion. Anna's situation is both terrifying and realistic; and when she makes her own personal decisions on aspects that take much belief in the supernatural, you as an audience member do as well. "Birth" is a compelling and spellbinding study of yearning and the tribulation when letting go of someone you love.
Inference trumps reality in Jonathan Glazer's Birth, a film that steadily, efficiently stacks a deck in pursuit of an inevitably self-defeating finale that renders the film entire less than the sum of its parts -- a collection of refined, cool, claustrophobic images enveloping a central performance from Nicole Kidman that upstages all else on-show. The film is at once artfully expressive and worryingly calculated, winning a passing grade courtesy of a career-best turn and not so much else.
Top badass moment? Clara trying to trick Sean with the love letters. Actually making some sort of attempt to, like, solve the central mystery in a way that 'normal people' would, is badass. Jeez, it's not rocket science, just ask him a load of questions; he's either Anna's dead husband or a ten year old kid messing about; it can't be that hard to tell the difference. 1 cat and 0 decapitations.
