This point of view is rarely allowed to be told and yet so commonly experienced, and in silence. Bravo for that and for the performances. Someone reviewed this "The scene at the cinema is the most enraging sequence I’ve seen in ages." and that hit.

The most realistic depiction of motherhood I’ve seen on film. It is a crushing dichotomy of hating something that has deprived you of yourself while simultaneously loving said thing more than your own life. Colman’s character hits it on the nail when saying that children come with an overwhelming burden. And not because you hate them but precisely because you love them so much that the mere thought of losing your child might as well kill you.

Either I did not relate to the movie, and therefore just did not understand it at all, or the screenplay is terrible. I'm not sure if the issue is on my end or theirs, but there was definitely a disconnect somewhere. Otherwise Colman, Buckley, and company gave solid performances. The cinematography was mostly on point. The bluesy piano score worked well for me. IDK, its kinda slow and not really my thing, but there are some good pieces here, so you might end up getting more out of it than I did.

Completely floored by this. Gyllenhaal pushes the camera so uncomfortably close that the cinematography itself adds a layer of tension to a story already fraught with it. There’s very little to fault here. Just a taut, engrossing thriller centred on a heartbreaking human.

An interesting character study kept occasionally captivating by Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley as Leda. Colman particularly gives an excellent performance -- something we've come to expect. The title has many meanings, but it ultimately seems to refer to Leda herself -- her futile grasping for a childhood she wished she had, a search for a life she felt she missed by having children, and her attempts to stay lost always leading her back to the only place she truly belongs -- with her children.

Good but not great movie. I feel like Dakota Johnson was a bit miscast, and some scenes couldn't clearly convey what was going on. Olivia Colman is great as usual and the movie relies heavily on that. Good, original handling of subject material is a plus. I feel like this could've been a tad better though.

If I can save just one person from this insufferable boring mess then I will have done my community service for the month. It has a few good actors, but the entire mess is boring, pointless and nearly a complete waste of time. Save yourself and skip this one. To say I am unimpressed would be a huge underestimation. BOO! I really like Maggie Gyllenhaal, but this REEKS and I now detest Olivia Colman.

A uniquely unsettling character study, leaning hard into its leads' imperfections, inscrutability, and feelings of fear, pain, regret, and parental ennui in past-present parallel examinations of motherhood, helped by terrific performances, good editing, an enigmatic soundtrack, and in-their-face cinematography. Could have benefited from a tighter focus (Lyle and the Greek gang felt a bit unnecessary to the thrust of the film) and a less easy and orange-y final scene. Cool titles after though.

A really strong, nervechilling performance by Coleman, and there might be a story about Consequences Of Big Life Decisions somewhere, but WHY must there be a change of actress? It is so incredibly distracting and confusing, it damages the character development on such a deep level that I lost her.

Seems scattered and disorganised in the moment, but is actually methodically and deliberately paced and plotted, finding an ideally cast Colman playing a character so strangely disconnected from her own reality. Much more interested in a portrait of moody anxiety than attempting a traditional character study, this feels like a throwback to abstract 70s film-making; if the mid-section occasionally threatens to collapse under its own opaque pretensions, it still remains captivating and compelling.

An effective Rorschach movie about several issues but mainly motherhood, helped by good performances from Colman and Buckley in the title role. The title and structure seem designed to mislead the viewer into thinking its just another example of that standard contemporary genre that consists in "woman struggling determinedly on her own is revealed via staggered flashbacks to be suffering from trauma brought about by having a 'lost' kid (usually a daughter)". Fortunately, it's not that at all.

Second half is way less gripping than the first, but Colman shines in nearly every shot and flashbacks pay off pretty well. Motherhood is a defining trauma -- for the good and the bad -- that men will just never quite fully understand.
