An hopeful and optimistic tale about moving on, even if the past (or, in this case, its absence) repeatedly gets in the way.
Beside the tragic premise, it's unexpectedly funny and delightful, and the monotone delivery of the actors emphasizes the moments of bittersweet comedy. It's also an empathetic (maybe a bit too enchanted) portrait of the lower classes, where a certain humanity always shine through.
And there is such a beautiful dog in it.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
It's impressive that, despite explicitly showing where the plot is heading basically halfway through, the movie still manages to create a sense of uncertainty and unease. Everything seems to go against the suspension of disbelief until the very last scene.
Not really sure what to feel about the fact that a movie centered around the psychological burden of pregnancy is directed by a man, let alone that the man is Polanski (sic).
Also, this movie is all over Ari Aster's filmography, which is a big merit. And Mia Farrow's haircut is kinda brat, like berghain-aficionado-brat. Oh, also best movie poster ever.Translated from by
