My Zoe

Great ethical drama, a bit too slow.

I liked Delphy as Isabelle. But it was all a bit slow really. I think the first third could have been massively condensed. The overattentive parenting was a bit cringey.

I liked the storyline for it's difficult ethical angle. Also the exploration of grief and loss and hope

7 reviews on low volume of rating on this movie. Feel sometimes marketing and commerical is required. It's not bad drama especially ethics and humanity come to the point which to pick. Acting is amazing, Hiliary Clinton acts so well.

The movie was ok but why would they pick someone in their 50's as the mom of such a you t child?

Julie Delpy wrote, directed, and stars in this subtle yet moving story of a mother's undying love for her daughter. She plays Isabelle, a brilliant researcher living in Germany. She's going through a difficult divorce while having an affair with another man. One day her daughter Zoe, who she dotes on, becomes ill and ends up in the hospital. There's no explanation for what happened to her, and she goes into a coma. Both she and her ex husband are devastated when their beloved daughter dies. While her husband thinks they need to move on, Isabelle saves a bit of Zoe's skin and is determined to have her cloned. This sounds futuristic, but the way the story is told, it could actually happen today. I got totally sucked into the story and found the acting brilliant. Although it's slow paced, there's an undercurrent of tension that kept me glued to the screen right until the end.

This story is engaging from start to finish. The first half is good, then the second half is even better because of a very unexpected turn. Well done!
