I have mixed feelings about this movie
Frustration, fear, suspense, disgust, and surprise.Should you watch it? If you want to feel dread and at times screaming “noooo!”, then yes.
The music score here just existed, it was pretty generic.
The cinematography was pretty simple but effective, it portrayed the atmosphere quite well. At times it felt, that it would’ve worked better as a horror movie because then they could've explored more intense feelings and even go through a grotesque route. Oh well...
The premise seemed interesting: two women make a contract, that the pregnant one, will give the baby to the infertile one. They move into the house in the middle of nowhere, so both women could safely observe pregnancy. Unexpected things happen.
Both women looked happy with each other and would’ve had a sisterly bond, but men in their lives (both of their lovers, as well as ruthless hunters) were quite disgusting about it. Except one, the painter, which was like a protector of the vacation house, where both women stayed.
Men here were written as threatening, and the worst part is, they are believable. They treat women as rabbits for sex, men here are lustful and see women as objects. In this movie, men do not care about boundaries. (except one - the painter, which was protecting them, but then again it was implied he was into them as well).
I disliked the ending. It felt empty. I know that both women have developed, but they stayed in the same situation, with same men they started out with (yet I believe that they will learn to be independent at some point). Are they happy? It’s for a viewer to decide. My interpretation: No, not really.
Change is scary, and it is hard to leave established relationships. So hard, that one might start believing that there is a no different path, so the only way to cope is to please them and to find people which can fill the void.
