Not just because some of it is gross, but because &#8230; well, because &#8230; by thinking it gross, I am thinking of my own body, womens&#8217; 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&#8217;m still shaken by it. I was very ill then, so I have often wondered if &#8230; 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 <i>personal<\/i> way. Beyond this though, it&#8217;s an interesting and sometimes even funny Frankenstein story!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rogerebert.com\/reviews\/birthrebirth-movie-review-2023\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">I reviewed for Ebert<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This movie is creepy and disturbing, and &#8230; honestly it turned my stomach.
