Faux positif

Conceived as more of a 'Rosemary's Baby' (Roman Polanski, 1968)-style horror film, John Lee's 'False Positive' attempts to craft an intriguing social commentary of sorts around modern fertility, the evils of the patriarchy, and men's desires for control over women's bodies. The movie has its decent thrilling moments, but the lifeless script and bland performances damn the film. One of the weakest entries in A24 library.

This Movie was captivating in the beginning. But lost me in the end. The end of the movie felt forced and contrived.

I don't really understand the plot. The story has premise as a mystery thriller, but it is confusing. Questions aren't answered, so I don't actually know what really happened in the film.

I am so glad to see that I'm not the only one who watched this movie and came here to vent.

This was a disjointed, mess of a movie! It felt like I was just watching random scenes of a boring life. There just wasn't anything to like about this. None of the characters were interesting. It has a vague "Rosemary's Baby" vibe to it but doesn't come close to being even half as good.

Just spare yourself the headache and waste of time.

Predictable, doesn't do a lot in the first hour and what he does, it's not spectacular. The acting also goes from very good to comical and I can say the same about the direction, as really good shots (the mirror, the room at night...) are side by side with some vulgar directing.

I can't say that this is an insulting bad film, but I can't also say that is a good one. Rosemary's Baby did muuuch better more than 50 years ago.

PS: and what a weird monologue coming from nowhere, blaming the men for...science.
