Human Affairs

About This Movie

Human Affairs is an introspective drama that dives deep into the complexities of surrogacy. Geneviève, the surrogate, navigates her conflicting emotions about carrying a child for someone else. The film has this raw, almost voyeuristic quality to it, where you feel the weight of her decisions resonating throughout. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to sit with her internal struggles and the unspoken tension between her and the intended parents. It’s not flashy, relying more on nuanced performances than on special effects, but the performances are heartfelt and deeply resonant, capturing the awkwardness and intimacy of the situation. It’s this quiet exploration of familial bonds and personal sacrifice that makes it stand out, really.
