Notes

My quick rating - 5.3/10. This movie sets itself up with an intriguing premise that promises psychological depth and a thoughtful exploration of societal pressures on women, particularly regarding motherhood. Dianna Agron delivers a solid performance, embodying the lead with conviction making her character's internal struggle believable and compelling. Agron truly carries the weight of the film on her shoulders, and in a better-structured narrative, her performance would have shined even more. However, the movie quickly falters as it loses focus. The plot feels disjointed, veering in multiple directions without fully committing to any of them. In the second half, the flick throws in new plot developments, but instead of adding depth, they feel scattered and ultimately lead nowhere. What could have been a sharp, focused psychological thriller instead feels like it's trying to do too much and succeeds at none of it. The dialogue at times is a bit too on-the-nose, lacking the subtlety that would have allowed the audience to engage more thoughtfully with the material. It has moments of tension—particularly one scene at a birthday party that stands out—but the film fails to deliver on the scares or suspense one might expect from its setup. Ultimately it is a missed opportunity. With its potential and great lead performance, it could have been a tightly crafted, engaging horror film. Unfortunately, its scattershot approach leaves it feeling more like a collection of ideas than a cohesive story. If the film had picked a lane and fleshed it out, it might have been something special. Instead, it leaves you wondering what it could have been.
