Birthmarked

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.

This movie is a pale imitation of a Wes Anderson film. It has an interesting premise with good actors, but ultimately come out flat.

This film tells the story of a scientist couple raising three children.

The story is very interesting and very different from other films. The topic is unique, and the result is a thought provoking journey. It is funny and light hearted as well, given the ethical question marks of the situation. It is an enjoyable watch.

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.
