The Surrogate

The performances were so realistic and the acting was incredibly natural. Great writing and although I wholeheartedly chose the couple's side, I did sympathize with Jess to a degree. So glad I gave this movie a chance.

So incredibly Boring. I kept waiting for it to pick up even just a hair and it never did. Very monotone movie. And if that isn't a thing then this movie made it one.

The acting was pretty good but the plot was so weird.. Jess was "fighting" and stuff to keep the baby and ended up not?? What was the whole movie for if she didn't even have the baby that was the whole point right?. Oh but don't worry swimming in a lake cures everyone's confusion. WE NEED ANSWERS PLS.

I kept trying to like Jess, but she was SO pushy! Inviting herself into Bridget's home. Insisting to take these frazzled parents out for coffee to pick their brains. And when it was blatantly obvious that the dads changed their minds, she went on like she didn't notice and made them say it, and when they did, she STILL tried to push her opinions on them. And that restaurant manager was way too nice. So did Jess have the baby or not? The ending was weird.

Gave it 20 mins. Just had to turn it off. Was simply the Most boring film ever. Was falling asleep. Of the 20 mins... 15 was without dialogue. Seriously... Don't waste your time.

Incredible acting and direction. The drama is so well played that you feel like you are sitting in the room with the actors. The ethical dilemmas are uncovered with such eloquence and finesse that when the film ends you need some minutes to process in silence.
