This time, we look at the ending of the Hulu Original horror movie False Positive. Yes, prepare for spoilers.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The latest entry in the pregnancy-horror subgenre, <strong>John Lee<\/strong>\u2018s\u00a0<em><strong>False Positive <\/strong><\/em><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">follows Lucy and Adrian Martin (<strong>Ilana Glazer <\/strong>and <strong>Justin<\/strong> <strong>Theroux<\/strong>), a couple who, after having trouble conceiving a child, seek out the expertise of a charismatic fertility specialist, Dr. Hindle (<strong>Pierce<\/strong> <strong>Brosnan<\/strong>). Soon enough, Lucy becomes pregnant with twin boys and a girl, but for her safety, a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Selective_reduction\">selective reduction<\/a> is recommended, and she chooses to eliminate the two male fetuses. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The story then takes a sinister turn when she <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">begins to suspect that her husband and doctor are conspiring against her and her unborn baby.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Hulu Original\u2019s gory third act, Lucy gives birth. Instead of the little girl that she was expecting, however, she delivers the twin boys after all.\u00a0 At that point, she decides to take matters into her own hands. She returns to the lab to confront Dr. Hindle, who reveals that he actually impregnated her with his own semen \u2014 as he does with every woman who comes into his practice \u2014 because he believes his genes are superior. This is the last straw for Lucy. She beats the hell out of him, throws out his sperm vials, and takes off with her daughter\u2019s aborted fetus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At home, Lucy is still convinced that Adrian was in on Dr. Hindle\u2019s nefarious plot. She confronts him, but he denies any involvement. Then, she hands him the twin baby boys and tells him to leave with them. Once Adrian is gone, Lucy picks up the fetus and pretends to nurse it. And then it latches on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you watched <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">False Positive<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and found yourself dumbfounded when the credits began to roll at the end, don\u2019t worry. The movie is confusing, and its ending is ambiguous. But that is a large part of its purpose. Multiple times throughout the movie, the term \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.parents.com\/pregnancy\/my-body\/postpartum\/mommy-brain-yes-its-a-thing\/\">mommy brain<\/a>\u201d is used to explain away strange occurrences, such as hallucinations and amnesia, experienced by Lucy. In simple terms, \u201cmommy brain\u201d is defined as the cloudy state of mind that pregnant and postnatal mothers sometimes experience due to a perfect storm of hormones and sleep deprivation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">False Positive<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the idea of \u201cmommy brain\u201d is employed as a convenient method of gaslighting Lucy. Do you have sufficient evidence that your fertility doctor is trying to kill your baby? \u201cMommy brain.\u201d Do you think your husband is spying on you? Also \u201cmommy brain\u201d \u2013 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">duh<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although it stands to reason why some viewers may find the ambiguous ending of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">False Positive<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to be frustrating, the movie does accurately depict the terrifying mental state that is so often passed off as \u201cmommy brain.\u201d But in addition to her experiencing disconcerting illusions, Lucy\u2019s paranoia also winds up being valid since her choice in the selective reduction procedure was disregarded, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Hindle was indeed conspiring by<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> impregnating her with his own sperm. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This doesn\u2019t change the fact, however, that a few things that happen in the movie quite obviously exist outside of the realm of reality. When she lifts the twins up to the window and they float away, for example. And when the fetus is resurrected and begins to breastfeed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the viewer, the line between reality and imagination is blurred. This just places the audience more effectively in the scary, uncertain shoes of a pregnant woman who is being mistreated. Ultimately, whether everything is real, or everything is imagined, or there is a perfect combination of the two, it\u2019s a lose-lose situation for Lucy. If what\u2019s happening is real, then she\u2019s being subjected to monstrous abuse. And if she\u2019s hallucinating, then she\u2019s suffering inwardly and not being taken seriously by those who are supposed to be looking out for her. And that\u2019s another form of abuse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So does <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">False Positive<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have a happy ending? In a way, it does. So many of Lucy\u2019s struggles center around her lacking control. She wants to be impregnated by Adrian\u2019s sperm but is unknowingly impregnated by Dr. Hindle\u2019s. She wants to keep the girl and not the boys, but the girl is aborted anyway. Even at work, she is told that she can take the lead on an advertising account that she is excited about. But later on, during her pregnancy, her boss suddenly snatches the client out from under her. But i<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">n the final shot of the movie, Lucy has finally taken back some of her power. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if she\u2019s imagining it, for a second, Lucy has the daughter she always wanted. And maybe that\u2019s a true victory from her perspective. Or maybe it is just another false positive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>False Positive is now streaming <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hulu.com\/movie\/false-positive-4e97d2ec-a1ef-46ce-a98e-920b82eeb4d9\">on Hulu<\/a>.<\/em><\/strong>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
