7/10
Not for everyone
29 June 2021
There will never be a movie made that everyone loves regardless of how good or that everyone hates regardless of how bad - every movie seems to have 10 star and 1 star ratings (even Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather and top rated movies have it's haters -just as awful movies have it's lovers - after all art is subjective). That being said it's understandable that a lot of people didn't like this movie. You can't take it literally. It is very metaphoric and uses a lot of symbolism -most people will miss this and won't care either way. Lucy (the main character) is the vehicle for the audience and when her mental health begins to deteriorate it becomes unclear what is real and what is not -that's the whole purpose. Because of pregnancy we see a woman lose her power in her work place, in her pregnancy and in her life. Mirrors were used cleverly to show that there is more than meets the eye going on (Hence, False Positive get it? Something seeming real that isn't - even though something deeper is going on).

Ilana Glazer does a good job at being believable as a woman whose losing it (mentally). And kudos to her for writing and producing. This is a deeper more thoughtful movie than what's happening on the surface. If you want everything spelled out for you, a Hollywood ending or CGI driven plots this is not going to be your cup of tea.
