Birth movie reviews

  What could have been a very interesting topic turned out to be extremely boring and non-eventful. The mundane explanation of the child`s knowledge of a `past life` was a let-down, and the extended scenes of close-ups of various character`s faces were pointless and boring, even absurd and laughable. The bathtub scene will thrill only child sexual predators, and the inconclusive storyline leaves questions that no sequel could ever answer, mainly because no-one would ever want to watch the sequel!

  Awesome film.....really makes you think about your own life and the decisions you have made. How could anyone think that its an absurd movie or that it didn`t have much to say.

  Artsy Fartsy... people who say it`s too deep for "average" folks to figure out without providing an explanation of what it is we`re not getting, are not getting it themselves and are just trying to appear intellectually superior. I`m a doctoral student and my Mom`s an artist so I know how to use both sides of my brain-- yet... I still think the movie is plain old artsy fartsy... reminds me of a huge piece of canvas with a red dot that I saw at the Guggenheim Museum- people kept saying it was so artistic and so this and so that, when it was just a plain piece of canvas with a red dot in the center... HA! ARTSY FARTSY. To those of you that

  Birth really didnt have much of a point. I kept searching for symbolisms to make up for all of the slow points in the movie but they never appeared. The shots and framework though slow is fairly more realistic than most films. I wouldnt recomend this film to anyone Unless they enjoy different films that have a stagnant pace.

  This very boring movie. Very slow and sppechless. What is it about reincarnation, or infidelity, or boy loving adult.. what. Writer is confused.

  I think this essay is incomplete; it leaves you completely stunned, and no real conclusion -- no apparent explanation on the reincarnation, no explanation for the amnesia of the lover`s memory, selective deja-vu, etc. To the director: there was only ONE Stanley Kubrick, mister. I bet The blairwitch project was more expensive than this so-called movie.

  reincarnation in any movie is good since it provokes people to think in bigger terms

  Terrible. The movie drags on and on and on unecessarily and tries to compensate for its absolute lack of anything endearing with scenes that border on *porn*. Some of the scenes are so ridiculous and far-fetched the audience could be heard throwing snide remarks and snickering. The ending is dull and senseless as well, like the authors just gave up on a story that wasn`t going anywhere to begin with. Even the one plot twist is weak. And Nicole somehow manages to look ugly and creepy in this movie, not a small feat.

  I am very selective about the films I see, so when I say that this is the WORST film I`ve seen this year (out of approximately 30) it means something. Nicole is a bona fide goddess. She has done some very fine acting in previous outings but this picture is just a nightmare. There is no logic, no plot & nothing to savour after it`s over. It is completely incomprehensible. There are lots of bad performances (though Nicole is fine). The kid, Cameron Bright, is incredibly creepy (& not in a good way, either).

  This is one of the best movie of 2004, it is simply breathtaking. It also features one of Kidman`s best performances if not the BEST and the rest of the cast were also top-notch. Birth is a character study of grief, how it paralyses us and reduces us to shadows of ourselves. It is simply a wonderful movie. With this and Dogville, Kidman once again shows why she is called fearless and have people like Wong Kar Wai agreeing to work with her. Kudos to the cast and crew of this movie :). Seen it 3 times, can`t wait for the DVD :).
