All Critics (79) | Top Critics (25) | Fresh (72) | Rotten (7)
A dark piece of neorealism - and a searing indictment of Eastern Europe's newly moneyed classes ...
A Romanian political allegory - in Romanian - might sound like tough sledding, but thanks to a searing performance by Luminita Gheorghiu, "Child's Pose" is anything but.
Perversely engrossing thanks to Gheorghiu's performance as the queen of denial.
Netzer crafts not only a chilling story of family dysfunction, but also an illuminating look into the corruption and decay of the Romanian bourgeoisie - without ever overplaying his hand. It all appears so effortless, when in fact it's so skillful.
A fascinating, troubling and finally controversial portrait of maternal anxiety at its most smotheringly neurotic.
A tour-de-force performance from Gheorghiu carries this 2013 drama along, but Radulescu provides the fine edge, noting how this lioness cloaks her selfish crusade in a plea for humanity.
Audience Reviews for Child's Pose
Gheorghiu is fabulous as the monstrous, over-controlling bourgeois mother in this sharp amalgam of social critique and family drama that even manages to make us feel pity towards her, conveying a world of complexities in its details, dialogue and characters' behavior.
