Four-and-a-half stars, although it is insufficient (the symbol system is complete, the metaphor is a little deliberate, the manipulation and arrangement are slightly stronger, and the soundtrack is slightly full), it is still a film that really cares about female individuals and the pain of birth. 1. The 24-minute delivery lens is indispensable: through camera movement and scheduling instead of editing, it is full of immersion. Home delivery is a constantly changing and unpredictable [event], allowing viewers to have a fast heartbeat with Martha. Subsequent film titles and time jumps/breaks further classified the event into the character's history, while the on-site long mirror and realistic performance construct a traumatic memory in the viewer's mind to the greatest extent. 2. The process of photo development is like a miracle, which not only brings the dead back to life and permanent residence, but also forces Martha to face the moment before the trauma. In the end, her understanding and gratitude to the midwife is based on the warmth and empathy of women. Pure and broad love and release, rather than the self-righteous rational concern, cold and narrow calculation of accountability and never let go. 3. There are both exquisite long mirrors (house parties and quarrels) and close-up details. 4. The endless walking highlights the sense of process, and the mirror glass emphasizes barriers and restraints. (8.8/10)

I finally saw the first movie that the male god director went to Hollywood to shoot. Every time the camera moved sideways, I felt that I would keep running with the character and finally fly. When you see characters in pain or hysteria, it feels like an atmospheric mix is ​​coming. The long shot of the childbirth part met my expectations for this technical director, and the story of the heroine who followed the characters basically met the expectations of Biao's acting skills. The handling of the relationship between husband and wife is a bit underwhelming, and the emotional strength is not up to it. It is the scene where the male lead is leaving. Although he can't see his face, the back and small movements are very strong.
