System shock 2 escape pod to many9/8/2023 That’s not to say that Birth/Rebirth isn’t at times a difficult film to sit through - it definitely is - but the disconcerting sense of dread it leaves you feeling is crafted with the deftest of hands. But Birth/Rebirth is careful to remind you how much of what they’re doing is born out of love and rooted in a belief that women should be in full control of their reproductive lives.Īt a time when shows like House of the Dragon have demonstrated how Hollywood still has a fondness for spotlighting the many ways that childbirth can kill women, Birth/Rebirth stands out as an example of how that reality can be depicted on-screen in all its horror without feeling voyeuristic or devoid of any substance.
