Chris says: “The first half-hour, which mostly consists of an extended tracking shot is not only an impressive technical feat but also an effective choice in what it depicts (a nerve-wracking home childbirth.) However, the remainder vindicates my mixed feelings about Kornél Mundruczó’s celebrated previous film WHITE GOD. It’s not so much his reliance on melodrama as the contrivances one can so easily succumb to with the genre. The ensemble is good (it has one of Molly Parker’s best roles, actually), even if Vanessa Kirby feels slightly miscast to me, and I don’t know what accent Shia LaBeouf’s attempting (like the set-in-Boston, filmed-in-Montreal production, it ain’t Boston); the problem’s more in the script, which takes a convoluted time to arrive where it does. Also, who gets their baby photos developed on film in 2020? 2.5 cats
