Young widow Anna is finally getting on with her life after her husband Sean's death. Now engaged to be married, she meets a 10-year-old boy who tells her he is Sean reincarnated. Though his story is both unsettling and absurd, Anna can't get the boy out of her mind. And much to her fiancé's concern, her increased contact with him leads her to question the choices she has made in her life.

Birth Ratings & Reviews

  • godzill416April 26, 2025
    Kidman was great alongside Sean's actor, and the concept truly was unique and cool, giving way to a certain anti-empathetic tone. Like you can't attempt to relate to Anna because this situation is so fucking weird. Cool effect. However, there is some problem. Pacing? Plot? Storytelling? Kind of frustrating that I can't pinpoint the issue in the movie. Not too shabby, overall.
