False Positive

Lucy (Ilanda Glazer) and Adrian (Justin Theroux) are a couple needed a little help conceiving a baby and get more help than they expected from Dr. Hindle (Pierce Brosnan) in this straight to HULU release directed by John Lee (Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday). After trying several times with no luck, Lucy and Adrian visit his old professor from medical school, Dr. Hindle, who operates a very prestigious women’s click. After a little invitro help, Lucy becomes pregnant with twin boys and single girl having to make the decision to sacrifice either the boys or the girls that decision leads Lucy into a decent into paranoia surrounding the doctor and her husband, or is there more realism to her paranoia than others lead her to believe. Described by director, John Lee as a Psychological Satire and as many have pointed out parallels to Rosemary’s Baby, there is quite the suspense build up as we as an audience know just a little more than Lucy does causing the back and forth on is she crazy or not. The acting is on par for what you would expect for a film that is getting a straight from streaming release, I know they were pushing for a theatrical run though I think this lives just fine for the streaming medium, where it comes apart for me is towards the end it goes into some full on body horror gore to drive home the social commentary it is striving for. I did not trust doctors before this movie and watching this I will definiely be questioning with concern what is going on. ***
