Loved the music soundtrack, the cinematography, the gorgeous detail of the production! Unusual and memorable.
Bajo Ulloa has made many risky decisions in this piece: there are no dialogues, an entire cast of women (none of them "hook actresses"), a story halfway between the story and the most heartbreaking reality, and a slow production against the accelerated trend of today.
All these factors are no longer so risky when accompanied by a sober and elegant production, a clean and organic photography at the same time, an evocative sound design and a spooky soundtrack in the purest style of the late Normand Corbeil in "Heavy Rain" .
During the footage, at no time can the powerful force of the film be denied that does not stop removing the most basic pillars of life: motherhood, the sense of belonging of the son to his mother, the similarity of the characters with animals , and the strong presence of nature as the conductor of history. A cocktail of elements that gain even more strength in these rare days that we live.
Conclusion: Powerful. Impeccable quality. Risky. It strikes me as a clever masterpiece that trusts the public, which makes it even bigger.

A dark fairytale, with beautiful imagery. Don't pay attention to the 1 star review. If you like del Toro, you'll probably like this movie. Those who find it boring, have the attention span of a peanut, and no appreciation for artful films. True, it may not be for everyone, because it's not spelled out for you, and with there being no dialogue, you need to pay attention to the details, but it is a good film. You should broaden your scope, and watch it with an open mind.
Juanma Bajo Ulloa was always a free verse in the Spanish film industry and this time he gives us a gloomy tale wrapped in a beautiful visual presentation with a risky formal bet in its staging, the absence of dialogue.
Baby is visually spectacular. His production design, photography, lighting, set design, music combine to generate images of extreme beauty, which are authentic poetry for the senses.
We must recognize their courage in defying the norms of mainstream cinema, the effort of their actresses to defend their characters and appreciate the wonder of their images, beyond the dramatic result.

Can somebody tell me where is the story line IS ?
can somebody tell me where the horror IS?
can somebody tell me what this movie about? because it was painful to watch, boring, boring, boring, No Dialogues JUST A BABY CRYING ALL THE TIME
DON´T WASTE YOUR TIME
