    20 years on, "Birth" feels stronger than ever. Quite possibly Kidman's best work and certainly one of her most intriguing roles. Desplat's pearlescent score is also among the very best of all time, beguiling and otherworldly, creating a sense of folkloric remove throughout the unsettling narrative. It would be another decade before Glazer's follow up, "Under the Skin," and in "Birth" there are glimpses of the later film's existential embryo.

    Horror at its finest - physically shocking to behold. Naomi Scott delivers beyond belief.

    The Other Woman

    ★½

    Such a contrived, inauthentic mess from the very first scene -- remains tolerably watchable for snickering at how bad the whole mess is, lead by the woefully involved Portman in a performance that is unconvincing at best although the wooden script is the film's worst offender.
