I thought it was a very great thought-provoking movie. My daughter and I are going to see it again. It starts slow but you realize toward the end that you should have paid attention. Very engrossing storyline.

The first 3/4 of the film was great, I couldn`t keep an eye out of it. The ending is just disappointig, it seems as if the writers didn`t know how to close the story... pitty. There are many gaps in the movie, mainly on how the kid recognised all the related people. The cinematography and some humourous scenes make things a little less worse. I expected much more from the movie, a 2-stars rating from me.

Well, I wanted to see this movie because the synopsis was really really interesting. So last night I finally got to see it. I understood about 85% of it, but some of the parts were just confusing. It might be one of those movies you have to see twice to fully understand, but all in all, it was a pretty good movie. Nicole Kidman was great, and the way the film was shot was pretty cool...Not a lot of bright lights throughout the movie to give it an "eerie and gloomy" feel to it. So yeah, I dig it.

Absolutely everything about this movie was not entertainment-it consisted of pathetic acting from every member of the cast.It doesn`t even deserve a 1 with rating. Whatever prompted Kidman to show herself in this poor performance! I would liked to have received a refund of my ill spent money on the cost of my ticket.

Not a "feel good" movie... definitely a film festival movie

Wow. I`m really surprised by how many people completely missed the point of this movie. I`m truly wondering what kind of movies you do appreciate. This movie is not for the "average" movie-goer who doesn`t want to have to think and simply wants to leave the theater feeling happy (and doesn`t want to see anything "uncomfortable"). I`m still contemplating the ending -- but I think that`s a good thing. If you want to think and see a beautifully filmed movie, then check this one out. And those of you who are talking molestation and horror over the tactfully done (and necessary) scenes between Kidman and the young boy need to get over yoursel

A lot of people are telling me I should have thought this movie was great but this is not backed up. I thought the film dragged on from start to finish. I felt completely lost by the whole film and the end was the worst. I didn`t see the relevance of most parts of the film. Either this really was a bad film or its so complex and thought provoking that only a handful of people get it. The only two thoughts I had were "what was that about?" and "why did i go to see it?" As for the 4-5 star voters - put some comments in here so we can all see why it was worthy of a higher rating!

`Birth` is not meant to be watched at surface-level. If you want a story that is clear-cut and conclusive, then yes, you will be bitterly disappointed. `Birth` is more about people`s emotions, dreams and willingness to believe in something despite the logical mind`s protests. This movie is intense and beautifully constructed. Cinematography alone is worth the watch.
