every review already says "lesbian rosemary's baby" but there's really no better way to sum it up so
lesbian rosemary's baby
This movie is like an hour long and it's great. More movies should be an hour long and great. In and out! I got shit to do!
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
i liked the part where michael che's character was like "ahhh dang you got me, we're collectively sacrificing your firstborn to the devil" like she just ruined a surprise party
Gaby Hoffmann gave a standout performance. Otherwise, the story didn't really cut it for me. It felt like it kind of wanted to be Rosemary's Baby, but didn't have the dreamlike structure. Props for featuring a lesbian couple, however.
Who names their daughter Lyle? I'm sure not even lesbians in Brooklyn would do that shit.
Leah: "THEY'RE GOING TO TAKE MY BABY"
Michael Che: 😬
Everyone is calling this Lesbian Rosemary's Baby but they are all wrong. It's Lesmary's Baby.
this is kind of what i was expecting "mother!" to be like in the sense that "lyle" gives its characters control over the situation, rather than letting the plot overwhelm. hoffmann gives an eerily abysmal performance here that's truly heartwrenching and nuanced. i quite like this film because the length is just perfectly over an hour long, it's filmed beautifully, and it feels like "rosemary's baby"'s understated, offbeat little sister.
A mumblecore "Rosemary's Baby" ... with screaming.
I enjoyed it.

the ending is super rushed, but I dug the hell out of the atmosphere and especially Gaby Hoffmann's performance. also there's a line delivery by Michael Che towards the end that is so funny and Scream-esque that I had to rewatch the moment a few times just to savor it.
Earnest and paranoid. A queer spin on Rosemary’s Baby that lands its punches in more empowering a manner than its influence. Stewart Thorndike keeps things nice and tight on Leah’s descent into paranoia and terror and that closeness to our lead keeps the unease dialed up to a ten for almost the entirety of the film’s short and sweet runtime. Gaby Hoffmann is the anchor for a film like this and her performance delivers in that manner tenfold.
