A movie where time is the enemy? Why not? And not just biological clock but time itself, where an actual clock is the devil himself
A movie rich with symbolism and ideas, at times to many ideas at once which sometimes takes the movie off the rails.
There are many aspects to the story: A satire dressed as horror. A black comedy dressed in blackest of black. Or a psychological thriller. That's the strength of the story, it's multifaceted aspects.
As mentioned the director wants to tell a lot. Above all about pregnancy and why choosing to not wanting children is taboo even today. Is that really what our society is about? Are you really a woman if you choose to not have children?
But it also tells about heritage and legacy. What is a legacy worth if you choose to go without children? But there is also something to say about time itself..
Where the movie ultimately fails is that there is not enough plot to warrant a feature film. The middle of the film basically feels like one giant filler story, only there to transport you to the ending. You can only so much with body horror scenes.
Had it been a short film the themes and execution would have worked much better. But it is not a bad movie at all, at least it will make you think..
