Gave it 20 mins. Just had to turn it off. Was simply the Most boring film ever. Was falling asleep. Of the 20 mins... 15 was without dialogue. Seriously... Don't waste your time.

A bold little project which skilfully and realistically addresses the tough issues of mental and physical illnesses in the unborn, the morality of abortion, as well as the trials, tribulations and dilemmas faced by those seeking to do a good deed by agreeing to the role of a surrogate mother. While the movie still inevitably channels the ideological undertones of the 2020s social justice movement, it does so without resorting to the so often seen preachy and idealized styles of other similarly themed works. An example of this innovative take on long-standing social issues can be seen in the fact that the would-be surrogate mother is not providing her services out of financial necessity (being an Ivy League college graduate with a successful career in New York City, as well as the daughter of an Ivy League dean), but rather out of a genuine altruistic will to help a same-sex couple start a family. In another example of the movie's daring style, the same-sex couple which was initially optimistic about the prospect of parenthood, later on begins to be portrayed as playing a rarely seen villainous and morally questionable role. Namely, while most movies tend to present same-sex would-be parents as almost infallible - as devoid of any superficial mindsets or selfish qualities, The Surrogate gives a refreshing dose of emotional and moral depth to such couples, by showing that they are only human too.

So incredibly Boring. I kept waiting for it to pick up even just a hair and it never did. Very monotone movie. And if that isn't a thing then this movie made it one.

Incredible acting and direction. The drama is so well played that you feel like you are sitting in the room with the actors. The ethical dilemmas are uncovered with such eloquence and finesse that when the film ends you need some minutes to process in silence.

In a strange world of surrogacy, trading babies for a dime, doing the job for somebody that cant retrieve or that stands in a que for adoption etc etc. in this case there are the issue of downs syndrome, and you may sense the vibes of an organization or conservative trade wind that every life do have the right to live. its the heartbreaking struggle to choose between abortion or not. its a slow film, it has got some racial dillemas to it also as the pregnancy is born by a single black woman with no great reserves, and the surtainty that a single white mother would easier be helped forward and supported by the health care. its been made 1000's of its kind, this one may angle a bit different, it will either make you glad or mad, depends on you view of an unborn life. the grumpy old man saw it and it was not a thrill, but drama it is, on low budget.

The performances were so realistic and the acting was incredibly natural. Great writing and although I wholeheartedly chose the couple's side, I did sympathize with Jess to a degree. So glad I gave this movie a chance.

The acting was pretty good but the plot was so weird.. Jess was "fighting" and stuff to keep the baby and ended up not?? What was the whole movie for if she didn't even have the baby that was the whole point right?. Oh but don't worry swimming in a lake cures everyone's confusion. WE NEED ANSWERS PLS.

I kept trying to like Jess, but she was SO pushy! Inviting herself into Bridget's home. Insisting to take these frazzled parents out for coffee to pick their brains. And when it was blatantly obvious that the dads changed their minds, she went on like she didn't notice and made them say it, and when they did, she STILL tried to push her opinions on them. And that restaurant manager was way too nice. So did Jess have the baby or not? The ending was weird.

This film raises tough questions and moral dilemmas and I love it for that and for so much more. For starters, Jasmine Batchelor is impeccable in this film, she truly commands the emotional labour of being a pregnant m/c black woman who is morally and socially conscious and sensitive to catering to other people's needs and comfortabilities. Throughout the development of the film and her own character, Jess learns to be less accommodating of privileged able bodied people's comfortabilities and spaces and to open up the discussion for the advocation, support and enrichment of educating oneself more towards disabilities and disabled people's perspectives and lives, learning how and why they deserve to be treated as equals, no matter how chromosomes may differ or what preconceived limitations the majority of society may place upon them. Metaphorically speaking, Jess guides us through her own journey as if we are being shaped in her own womb as learners and empaths in her appreciation for her own child and others who live with deficiencies. She does not have an idealistic ideology or mindset that parenthood is easily manageable and controllable, in fact she acknowledges that parenthood is inescapably difficult several times across the span of her journey and it makes her even more palatable as a character. The tensions in the film are brilliantly conveyed, the intersectionality of being black and middle class v upper class v working class, is essentially communicated and the complicated nature of relationships are realistically portrayed and explored. And even with its final shot, it tugs you at your heart strings on how calming contraceptive experiences can be as well as complex, strenuous and difficult.
