The Midwife

This is one of those films that I almost feel bad writing about, because it's so awful that there is literary nothing good to say about it. Not only is it amateurish in every aspect (the soap opera cinematography, the acting, the direction, the absurd script...) but it's just a torture to sit through. (Only the "Holy Trinity" of Luna manages to do a worse job with a much bigger budget. Look for María Lidón if you want to know what I mean). It seems to be some kind of crowdfunding and I really feel sorry for the people that were illusioned with the project, because the end result is like an assignment from a cinema school, but instead of being a short is a feature. At least one thing that the movie helps illustrate is how important is to have a good sound editing company for your films, even if they are really low-budget. It was impossible for me with this terrible sound mixing to achieve a suspension of disbelief and feel as though this was a real movie.

Omg was not sure about this at first but was good so many twists I got confused but it makes it a great film. Something different!! About time !!

Absolutely dumbfounded by how this has had several good reviews, the film makes absolutely no sense, theres not a thing scary about it, not even cheap jump scares.

I'd avoid this one.

Man I love British horror!!

Great find online, writing this so more people can see it.

Tight plot and good surprises, particularly liked the Midwife character.

Had major vintage thriller vibes!! I was hooked througout - good twist and characters.

I sat down to watch the 2021 movie "The Midwife", being under the impression that I would be in for a horror movie. And given the movie's mediocre rating here on IMDb (5 stars as I am writing this), I figured, that there might be a chance that the movie would be entertaining enough. So of course I sat down to watch the movie.

And boy was I in for a rude awakening. "The Midwife" from directors Ryan Gage and Marta Baidek was a massive swing and a miss.

First of all, the term horror might be stretching it a bit. Thriller perhaps, but horror? Not so much. Not unless you consider prolonged periods of nothing happening as being labeled horror, then sure.

The storyline told in "The Midwife" was sluggish and lacking interesting contents, so my interest in the movie was quickly fading as the movie trotted on in a gut-wrenching slow pace with nothing happening.

And the acting in the movie was bland. But of course, with the actors and actresses having nothing to work with in terms of a proper script or interesting characters, how could they possible put on something outstanding?

I gave up on "The Midwife" about halfway through. By that time I was just fed up with the boredom of nothing happening. And this is not a movie that I will ever be returning to watch the rest of.

My rating of "The Midwife" lands on a three out of ten stars, based mostly on the production value of the movie.
