Review of Birth

Birth (2004)
7/10
Absurd... but entertaining.
15 January 2006
A little boy says he's the dead husband (reencarnated) of Anna (Nicole Kidman), a young upper-class woman that's trying to rebuild her life. That's a plot that could've been easily turn into a cheap thriller, but Glazer takes the risk and goes for the drama with all the scandalous connotations that the story may have (specially in the puritan USA). you'll know what I mean when you watch the movie (by the way, young actor Cameron Bright surely is the hero of his class... lucky boy!!).

Now, the absurd of the story makes quite difficult to give the film a good and coherent ending, and that's where everything go to pieces. Anyway, we got the opportunity of watch Nicole Kidman one more time (for me she's 21st Century Audrey Hepburn), and she's accompanied by a nice cast (Peter Stormare, Lauren Bacall...).

Entertaining.

*My rate: 6.5/10
