Started off decent, ended up lame.

There are certain foreign films, that I can watch and endure the language and read the subtitles and this film peaked my interest so I gave it whirl. I don't do indept story reviews but I'll say is this, it started very decent, midway it got a little more interesting but the ending simply fell flat like sitting in traffic, waiting for the red light to turn green and it never does but you go thru anyway, knowing that the traffic light is not working......lame.

"Mother's Baby, Father's Maybe."

This film feels like reading someone else's private thoughts and realizing you're not supposed to be there.It's quiet. Almost too quiet. Nothing explodes, nothing escalates in the traditional sense and yet the tension never disappears. It sits in the room. In the pauses. In the way the mother looks at her child like she's waiting for something that refuses to arrive.Marie Leuenberger carries the entire film in her face. There are moments where she barely speaks, and you still understand everything: doubt, fear, guilt, confusion. The performance is so restrained it becomes unsettling. You're not watching hysteria you're watching someone trying to stay functional while something inside her keeps slipping.What makes the film work is that it never tells you what to think. It observes. It lets you sit with the discomfort. A mother questioning her instincts is already taboo enough the film doesn't sensationalize it, it just lingers there. Every action she takes feels like an attempt to measure reality. To test whether the world still behaves the way it should.And the ending refuses to rescue you. No explanations. No tidy closure. Just the echo of everything that came before. You leave with questions and the film trusts you enough to carry them yourself. That openness isn't frustrating it's the point. The story isn't about answers. It's about the space where certainty used to live.It stretches a little toward the end, yes. You feel the runtime. But even that fatigue folds into the experience. The film wants you to sit in that unease longer than you'd like.It doesn't scream. It doesn't force. It stays with you quietly.And that's why it works.
