Truly a sublime work of art. Nicole Kidman has never been better. It is a superb work of cinema - atmospheric - extremely believable - and "not to be missed." It will challenge, and maybe suspend, your disbelief in a concept many believe is untrue. A formidable tour de force. Do yourself a favor and watch this movie!! I have been hoping to see it gain for it for 20 years and am glad to have found it anew.

I agree with the first reviewer's declaration that this is an underrated film. Indeed it is. In the wrong hands a storyline like this could easily teeter from the sublime into the ridiculous. Not so here. The movie is smartly directed, atmospheric, eerie and superbly acted by all. The score is equally stirring. This is a film that is quietly riveting from start to finish. Highly recommended.

This is a highly underrated film. It is refined and enigmatic. Nicole Kidman gives one of her finest performances as Anna, the tragic heroine of Birth, an autumnal, romantic mystery. The score by Alexandre Desplat is unforgettable. Nine years before his other masterpiece, Under the Skin, Jonathan Glazer astonished me with this haunting meditation on death and the deep connections we have to those who pass away before us.
