Snap Judgement: Movies.(Movie Review)
Byline: David Ansen
Birth Directed by Jonathan Glazer
A wealthy Manhattan widow (Nicole Kidman) is about to remarry, a decade after her husband's death, when an intense 10-year-old (Cameron Bright) appears, insisting he's the reincarnation of her late husband. The setup of Glazer's ("Sexy Beast") often hypnotic movie suggests a supernatural thriller, but the execution is pure European art film. While Kidman gives a bold performance as a woman in extreme distress, the script is hooey. "Birth" is ridiculous, and oddly unforgettable.
