Let's Hope It's a Girl

About This Movie

Let's Hope It's a Girl is a curious blend of comedy and drama that really digs into the absurdity of sexual stereotypes. Liv Ullmann, in a rather striking performance, takes center stage as a countess who finds herself running a farm post-divorce, a setting that feels both grounded and somewhat whimsical. The film has this off-kilter pacing that allows you to soak in the absurdity of her situation and the dynamics with her female staff. It's all about resilience, independence, and challenging the norms of a patriarchal society. The practical effects are subtle but effective, adding a layer of realism to the rural backdrop. The tone oscillates between humor and poignant moments, making it a distinctive watch in its own right.
