Mar 18, 2019 Birthmarked: Está bien para el domingo en la tarde. La veo como una película que busca tratar de acercarse al estilo de Wes Anderson. See more

Abraham S Nov 11, 2018 Toni Collette is brilliant (as always). The subject of the film was initially a little off putting but I really enjoyed it in the end. I'm happy I stuck with it! I also thought the performances by Matthew Goode and Andreas Apergis were very well acted, and the three kids were excellent. It has a Wes Anderson vibe - but without being overly art directed or cartoonish. I rather liked the bizarre story line and the quirkiness of it all. See more

George W Sep 8, 2018 An interesting film reviewing the growth of children, hopes and dreams of parents and the ethical nature science can bring into the human world. Worth a watch. See more

Theodore L Aug 14, 2018 All these terrible reviews! We really enjoyed this film. A nice change from all the Nordic Noir movies we have been watching of late. If you can refrain from comparing Emanuel Hoss-Desmarais to Wes Anderson, you may really enjoy it. It is gentle light entertainment with an original plot line. We found it funny. See more

Jul 23, 2018 257. Birthmarked. Its always cool, when you randomly pick a movie to watch and its not only good, but interesting as well... Two scientists meet, accidentally touch hands, they fall in love, get married, get pregnant, then decide to use that child as a guinea pig in a social experiment... nature vs nurture, or raise the child totally to defy their genetic disposition, and while they're at it, they'll adopt two more to run similar experiments with... Its like this... they adopt a daughter, that came from a family of really dumb people, I mean really dumb, but they are going to raise her as if she's going to be wicked smaht. They also adopt a son, who's past relatives lean towards the criminal and violent side, and they raise him as a pacifist... And their own boy, a child born of two scientists, they will raise as an artist, the uni-boob, is one of my favorite pieces of his art. Does it blow up in their face? Well I won't tell, but seriously though, if it didn't blow up in their faces would there be a movie??? Well acted and a cool story. Oh, did I mention its a dark comedy. Go for it!!

Rey L Jul 22, 2018 At the end of the day, this movie is quirky and different and judging by the differentiation in the audience and critic scores, the expectations of the critics maybe out of touch with reality. Maybe not as comedical as hoped but definitely entertaining. I did not need the film to spell out a hypothesis for me...it wasn't that kind of film See more
