Rakel, the protagonist of Yvgvild Sve Flikke's film 'Ninjababy', is a nerdy slacker with the ambition of becoming a cartoonist, who discovers to her shock she is many months pregnant. We see how she responds, in a film that is often hilarious and also cleverly constructed, with Rakel's inner thoughts conveyed through the cartoons she draws about her un-asked for child. Her pyschology is believable and presented without judgement. The eventual ending is perhaps a little soft, but overall it's a fresh, funny and perceptive movie.
