Becoming Male in the Middle Ages is a layered exploration of modern relationships through historical lenses. The film's tone is reflective, capturing the intimate struggles of Mirene and André with infertility, while juxtaposing it against Carl and Vicente's journey of trying to navigate the complexities of parenthood through experimental means. The pacing ebbs and flows, allowing for moments of quiet contemplation alongside the weight of emotional turmoil. The performances are subtly powerful, drawing you into each couple's unique plight. It's distinctive in how it intertwines contemporary issues with a medieval backdrop, creating an atmosphere that feels both familiar and novel. Practical effects are minimal but effective, contributing to a grounded viewing experience. A thought-provoking piece, certainly worth pondering over.
