Directed by Jonathan Glazer, Birth takes place in New York's Upper East Side, where Anna (Nicole Kidman), a 35-year-old widow, resides. Just as Anna has shaken off what she thought were the final remnants of her old life -- she has even found love with a new man, Joseph (Danny Huston), whom she plans on marrying -- Sean (Cameron Bright), a ten-year-old boy, comes into her life insisting that he is the reincarnation of her late husband. Though she initially brushes off the boy's claims as the result of a crush on her, his grave demeanor and uncanny knowledge of her life leads Anna through a self-reevaluation that not only threatens her marital plans with Joseph (Huston), but also strains her relationship with her mother, Eleanor (Lauren Bacall). ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

    Despite the initial repulsion of it, I thought this movie was very interesting... There are so many movies out there that say love can cure all things, endure all hardships, "love is blind", etc... This movie is about the extreme downside to that idea. It's a big "WHAT IF" and although I wouldn't go out and purchase the movie... I'm glad to have seen it as it provides lots of discussion and interpretation amongst friends. You have to watch this movie in the frame of mind: "What would I do" instead of expecting a bunch of action. Put yourself in their shoes.

    Everyone in this bad movie with the bad script is just particulary creepy - and well...bad. The story is of a woman who upon the 10th anniversary of her husbands death (and just before she is to re-marry) a 10 yr old boy shows up claiming to be her dead husband. Cameron Bright's (who plays the boy) dead pan through the whole movie is ridiculous and tiring to watch. Kidman, Heche and Bacall are all just strange and really really creepy like pod-people. One of the worst movies I've watched in a long time. Gets my big P-U rating cause it's a stinker!
