Review of Inconceivable (2017) by Waleed A — 11 Feb 2018

This movie was pretty decent and enjoyable for most of it. interesting story. (1 viewing).

SPOILERS.

The whole idea of this girl who donated eggs and messed up her uterus and can no longer have babies so she goes and steals the babies of her egg donations and uses the last of her egg donations to fertilize herself is pretty awesome. her psycho-y-ness was pretty awesome although could have been done better and more severe.

I liked it until the end, when it just got terrible. the direction they chose to go was lame, the acting got really bad, and the way the revealed stuff was terrible. first they show a scene implying the wife died and nick cage crying, makes no sense since she's not really dead. then they tell the girl that she died, which does not serve any purpose. then they show the wife is alive and cops come. terrible execution. first of all, the wife could have easily ended all of it if she told the lady at the donation place the description of the girl and that she had a baby named maddie, mystery solved, she's in jail. secondly, missed opportunity to make it seem like cage was debating if he should stay with the blonde girl before showing the wife is alive.

Personally, I think a dark ending would have been way better. show some more scenes of marital problems, lack of sex, him being attracted to the girl, being convinced she's relapsed and unreliable, and even after finding out the wife was right and was killed by the girl, he still stays with the girl cause he's fallen for her and can have the mother of his children raise them.
