Post Partum

About This Movie

So, 'Post Partum' is one of those films that really digs into the complexities of new parenthood. You've got Luce and Ulysse, a couple who seem to have it all figured out with their veterinary clinic on the coast. But then baby Rose arrives and it’s like a slow unraveling of their lives, you know? The pacing can be quite deliberate, building tension as Luce struggles with the reality of motherhood. The atmosphere has this oppressive weight, almost palpable, as we see her mental state deteriorate. The performances are raw, especially the lead, who really captures that sense of isolation and panic. And the practical effects, when they come, really hit hard. It’s distinctive in how it portrays the darker sides of family life without leaning too much into sensationalism.

Explores themes of motherhood and mental health.Atmospheric tension with a focus on character struggles.Not your typical feel-good story, rather a deep dive into reality.
