What people are saying
7.3Audience score from 6 verified ratings
“The audience is not supposed to feel Derin’s pain. With a Kubrickian coldness, we are held at arm’s length, called to observe from a distance. What we are promised is not a deep character study but an exploration of a condition. The truth is many audience members have never experienced postpartum depression (and I imagine those who have are not interested in reliving it) and the movie is not exactly interested in putting us in the driver’s seat either; it is more informative than immersive.”
“Simple gestures evoking complex reactions. The movie was not a bad watch.”
“it was really an emotional, relatable and enjoyable movie.”
