Review: birth/rebirth (2023)

This movie is creepy and disturbing, and … honestly it turned my stomach. Not just because some of it is gross, but because … well, because … by thinking it gross, I am thinking of my own body, womens’ bodies, and their processes as gross. I bring to this all of my experience being a woman going to the doctor. I had such a mean gynecologist once that I’m still shaken by it. I was very ill then, so I have often wondered if … any of it really happened? Did that c-word actually say the fucked-up shit she said to me? (This is why I am very cautious about choosing a gynecologist. I prefer a male doctor, solely based on this experience. Bitch.) So many of the scenes here were upsetting in a personal way. Beyond this though, it’s an interesting and sometimes even funny Frankenstein story!

I reviewed for Ebert.
