Birthmarked

Watching this movie is so easy,because it is shot very well and the aesthetic is very pleasing. Matthew Goode does an AMAZING job as does Toni Collette! And all the cast! This movie is so funny,and just..just..Good. I find it like satire for socioloists and psychologists. Love this movie,one of my favourite comedies.

I stumbled upon this quirky comedy and stayed for the duration. Toni Collette is great as always. It was particularly fun to see Matthew Goode hiding his good looks behind a beard and big glasses. Don't think I've ever seem him so animated, not stuck playing the beautiful cool guy as usual.

The lakeside setting and period details were engaging. Music was good. Really an unexpected delight to watch this during stress covid19 times.

A great critique of society. today's families are actually experiencing such feelings. It is important for them to make children like themselves. Do not rely on low ratings. Keep the blu-ray, keep it. Toni Collette is awesome. the children actors are also very good. and Stephen Rennicks' music is tremendous.

In 2018's lightly cerebral '80s-based "Birthmarked" scientist couple Toni Collette & Matthew Goode (assisted by Andreas Apergis) experimentally raise kids Jordan Poole, Megan O'Kelly & Anton Gilles-Adelman in direct contrast to each's genetic expectations - to prove that nurture beats nature. But a decade or so in their unimpressed philantropist (or is he?) benefactor Michael Smiley (assisted by Fionnula Flanagan) pushes them to up the ante, adding further strain to their already stressed marriage & family life. Writer Marc Tulin & director Emanuel Hoss-Desmarais made a passable enough dramedy, but like Smiley, many may be underwhelmed by its mediocrity.

An interesting concept but let down by a poorly constructed script, underwhelming lead performances and a lot of gags that completely miss the mark.
