Just OK
jfxfxz23 May 2021
The acting is professional, the plot is interesting but the script and direction are atrocious. The action does not flow giving us the impression that something is missing.

No Emotional Connection to the Characters
larrys319 May 2019
This Polish drama centers on Nina and Wojtek's (Julia Kijowska and Andrzej Konopka) desperate attempt to find a surrogate mother for their baby. After Nina accidentally backs into a high school students car, they seem to think they might finally have found the right woman. Eliza Rycembel portrays the student Magda, who is gay and highly impulsive.

However, things will soon go "off the rails", and without writing too many spoilers I'll just say they'll all eventually go down a rather dark and twisted road. I could never connect emotionally with any of these characters, and the filmmakers just seemed to be trying to shock with constant nudity and lesbian sex scenes rather than character development.

Overall, this movie just didn't work for me on any level and i was glad when it was over.

Just PURE beautiful 'beauty' ...

The inter-actions between 'performers' ; the subject ; the ... 'performances' ; the factual ... sub-plot ; the 'european' approach to the 'situation' ... = EXTRAORDINARY !

It is an insult to human intelligence

But if Magda and Nina are in love with what do you need to get pregnant with Nina's husband? Husband that Nina no longer loves they couldn't use isemination, because a gay girl who has never been with a man should go there for no reason, they are speechless !! This is the most stupid and shameful script ever seen, the screenwriter has created an hate to find a surrogate !! Incredible but true !! I imagine the scene of the first appointment when husband and wife ask him about a 3 thing and she instead to leave accepts and after 2 hours of sex she says ok put the condom and he replies no we stop having sex without a condoms because I want to put you in the surrounding 😂😂😂😂 brod all this is truly ridiculous, and then as if a girl was not enough with as much experience like her who in the initial scene is easily seen having sex with a married woman in the disco didn't expect that when he was Invited for dinner he wanted to do something to 3, because you can clearly see that when they tell them, they are surprised by another ridiculous thing to add, then give me 3 weeks to convince her !! Me things mission impossible, but just tell him, the fact and that if he told him later they could not bring out this disgusting script !! And even the characters are really ugly and ridiculous too I would never want to approach people like that, What better way to regain the woman you love instead of being inseminated with a syringe, and better to go the bed with her husband !! Ridiculous, what a straw, Ignorable the last 10 minutes the ending. Coincidence towards the end, with narratively ruinous consequences.

A review to watch?

Warning: Spoilers
There are so many sexual driven films out there to watch at the moment, that there has to be something original, well acted, well scripted that sets a film apart from the many others.

I guess the plot to this one, a thirty something school teacher is struggling to conceive with her male partner, that through chance they talk a single woman into being a surrogate for them.

How many times has this plot to a film been read out and blah, blah, blah.

However if you just take this plot on and nothing else, for me it was surprising. The characters were strong, the twists of the storyline are really thought out and you are kept in the dark as to how the film will end, Well worth 8/10.
