Along with co-writer\/director John Lee, multi-hyphenate \u201cBroad City\u201d star and co-creator Ilana Glazer mines this cringey, condescending assumption that shrugs off a pregnant woman\u2019s struggles, examining the patriarchal industry through which the business of birth takes place and invalidates feminine autonomy. The result is a deftly made suspense film, but one that falls somewhat short of its aspirations, both as a satire and ultimately, a psychological thriller with a critical societal eye.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>The issue isn\u2019t quite that Glazer, who\u2019s currently expecting and therefore experienced first-hand about the topic, and Lee (also hailing from \u201cBroad City\u201d) don\u2019t have substantial things to say about the casual and calculated forms of misogyny that surround maternity these days. On the contrary, the duo seems to have a lot on their mind when it comes to womanhood, race, city life, corporate culture, modern medicine and of course, toxic masculinity. Except, they seem to only scratch the surface of their queries and narrative goals. The overall sentiment you\u2019re left with after \u201cFalse Positive\u201d is fierce admiration for a movie with bottomless ideas, and a sense of incompleteness that slightly overshadows it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And yet, it\u2019s easy to forgive the deficiencies of \u201cFalse Positive,\u201d simply because it feels so oddly unique. Lee\u2019s film reminds one that while contemporary horror is thankfully chock-full of masterful films like \u201cHereditary\u201d and \u201cThe Babadook\u201d about the terrors of motherhood, it is far less prolific a genre in dismantling the taboos of expectancy, perhaps save for a \u201cPrevenge\u201d here or there. It is then no surprise that Roman Polanski\u2019s \u201cRosemary\u2019s Baby\u201d becomes the most obvious point of reference for Glazer and Lee in their New York yarn about a successful young woman struggling with fertility first, and then, an entire ecosystem of ruthless gaslighters that her husband might or might not be a part of.<\/p>\n<p>She is Lucy (Glazer herself), an on-the-rise marketing executive about to get her big break in the business by finally leading a newly won account for her firm. But even though Lucy is technically treated as an equal to her male colleagues, you quickly sense that something is off\u2014for starters, why is her harmless, seemingly supportive supervisor Greg (Josh Hamilton) always going to her and never one of the boys, to place an order for the team from Dig Inn? (This health-focused chain restaurant choice admittedly becomes an inspired running joke in the film.) Nevertheless, Lucy h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ily complies with her office\u2019s taxing demands by day, while stressing out about her unsuccessful attempts at pregnancy by night. So after a long period of failures, she and her physician husband Adrian (a suitably domineering Justin Theroux) finally knock on the door of Dr. Hindle (Pierce Brosnan, nailing his character\u2019s genial uncanniness); Adrian\u2019s former professor as well as a high-profile, highly in-demand doctor who\u2019s developed his own secret method of fertility. And before we know it, Lucy is given the good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>\u2014she\u2019s at last expecting. Though her condition is not without some tough complications that require a distressing but sometimes medically necessary process called selective reduction in order to increase her chances at a successful birth.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<section>\n<p>\u201cFalse Positive\u201d is frequently marked by hallucinatory mind <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s from here on out, with one too many distracting dream sequences that unsettle and confuse the viewer in order to get us into Lucy\u2019s headspace; one that can\u2019t assess the difference between dreams and reality. In due course, Lucy grows increasingly skeptical towards her surroundings, finding temporary sanity only in pregnancy support groups that she reluctantly joins once she suspects that evil things are happening inside her body without her consent. Not helping the matters is an entire canvas of players, all projecting their unrealistic, dismissive expectations onto the lonely young woman. \u201cBut you are glowing,\u201d some say in denying her reality. \u201cThis is supposed to be a joyful time,\u201d others patronizingly remind her in mind-numbingly sterile clinics, apartments and office buildings. In one of the film\u2019s more obviously metaphoric scenes in this vein, Adrian creepily locks Cartier\u2019s famous love bracelet around Lucy\u2019s wrist, almost claiming her fate as his own. (The frequent and annoying&#8221;we&#8221;s that he uses in saying \u201cwe are pregnant\u201d only reinforce this entitlement.)<\/p>\n<p>Sporting an impeccable updo and an impossibly slender, side-buttoned pale pink dress uniform, Dr. Hindle\u2019s right hand nurse Dawn (Gretchen Mol, the film\u2019s mysterious MVP) plays a particularly important role in these acts. She reigns over Lucy in a hushed, passive-aggressive manner that brings to mind both the apathy of Nurse Ratched and the polite coldness of Serena Waterford in \u201cThe Handmaid\u2019s Tale.\u201d In fact, Lee subtly plays with clever Handmaid\u2019s-like visual and atmospheric cues in a number of segments, alongside \u201cHereditary\u201d and \u201cMidsommar\u201d cinematographer Pawel Pogorzelski. Pogorzelski\u2019s signature of sharply unnerving, crisp images seize Lucy\u2019s growing isolation in a world that demands she embrace her so-called womanly destiny. He films Lucy\u2019s loss of self with a clear vision, chillingly capturing the unease and nervous laughs in the air, both when Dr. Hindle suggestively meddles with his intimidating medical tools and Adrian authoritatively stands over his wife\u2019s body by a stretcher, becoming one with her pregnant torso.<\/p>\n<p>Lee proves less successful in her critique of the likes of Lucy, affluent, well-meaning but still somewhat clueless city dwellers that need to check their own privileges. So when the script introduces Grace Singleton (Zainab Jah), a famed black midwife in favor of natural birth methods and earthy office decors into the story, its efforts to call attention to Lucy\u2019s casually racist assumptions about this woman she calls \u201cmagical\u201d feel painfully half-baked. Also vaguely considered is a bonkers, blood-splattered final act, making you wish that this otherwise shrewd, stylish little genre exercise had leaner thematic ambitions.<\/p>\n<p><em>Now playing on Hulu.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tomris Laffly\" src=\"https:\/\/static.rogerebert.com\/uploads\/user\/primary_image\/tomris-laffly\/featured_Tomris2y.jpg\" title=\"Tomris Laffly\"><\/img><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div><figcaption>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tomris_Laffly\"><\/span>Tomris Laffly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Tomris Laffly is a freelance film writer and critic based in New York.
