**Spoilers**
Just watched it. I actually really liked it - it was a great representation of PPD, and it was left open to interpret if she was really being haunted, or if everything she was experiencing was a manifestation of the PPD. It was full of tension and suspense. I think they could have developed the backstories of the ghosts a bit better, but at the same time, what we did learn was what Sara knew. If there was more backstory, there would be less ambiguity about whether or not what she was seeing was real.
That smarmy psychiatrist really pissed me off, though. He spends half an hour with her, and she very lucidly tells him that she knows she hasn't bonded with her baby but she very much wants to, and his answer is "Nothing you're feeling is real. You need anti-psychotic meds."
My personal takeaway is that the entire experience was hallucinatory, which is why there were no visitations (even from the dirtbag father) after she broke through the PPD and bonded with her son. The tension at the ending was just her fear that she would experience PPD again with the next baby.
Ugh, comments like yours are absolutely disgusting. 8 years since this comment was made - I sincerely hope that in that time you have overcome your blatant homophobia and realized that people in the LGBTQ+ community are HUMAN and have the same human facility and need for love and companionship as anyone else, and that as they are part of the HUMAN race, inclusion and representation in films is not only a natural expression of that humanity but also a REQUIREMENT for an accurate portrayal of society.
Not everyone is exactly like you - we don't all live the same, believe the same, act the same or love the same, and that is perfectly fine.
Well... Something did happen to Leda's daughters. She abandoned them for 3 years. A huge part of the drama of this movie was her guilt and regret over her decision, the way she was unable to be a "natural" mother to her children. Stealing the doll felt to me a bit like an attempt at a mothering do-over.
At that time, he didn't have any regrets. The berry seemed to be almost supernaturally tailored to give people a second chance, a do-over; Ray loved everything about his life - except for Gwen's suffering Alzheimer's.
In the beginning, Jonathan made a comment in his video, saying, "Don't worry, I got my 4 hours of sleep." So it sounds like they each sleep 4 hours, and each have 8 waking hours.
They merged. They showed both couples in the split timeline, then collapsed it to a single timeline. In the remaining timeline, Alan and Nadia were wearing the clothes they were in when they each had full knowledge of what was going on (Alan:scarf, Nadia: pirate shirt).
did you know lobsters are blind AND they mate for life?
This is a perfect counterpoint to the supposition that ending with a screenshot of "The Lobster" indicates he couldn't blind himself and became a lobster. Alternatively, "becoming" a lobster could mean he blinded himself and DID mate for life.
