A great suspenseful film with lovely depth in the characters. Showing parts of Australia that are often overlooked with beautiful cinematography.

The audience aren't patronised with predictable twists that are drawn out like Hollywood thrillers, instead the story is told matter of factly with shocking unapologetic blunt force.

The score creates tingles, and the script allows the characters to really come to life with haunting authenticity that leaves you thinking about them long after the credits.

The imminent apocalyptic feel, fits beautifully with the austere Monaro country. Making this a well written, visually stunning film, not to be missed,

"In Vitro," directed by the talented director, delivers a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant exploration of love, loss, and the complexities of human relationships. The film's premise, centered around the ethical dilemmas of fertility and cloning, is both timely and compelling.

The performances are outstanding, with the cast bringing depth and nuance to their roles. The chemistry between the leads is palpable, making their emotional journey all the more impactful. The cinematography beautifully captures both the intimacy of personal moments and the starkness of the world they inhabit.

The screenplay is intelligent and engaging, balancing philosophical questions with relatable human experiences. The pacing keeps the audience invested, building tension and curiosity without losing the emotional core of the story.

Overall, "In Vitro" is a captivating film that prompts reflection on what it means to be human. It's a must-watch for anyone interested in a thoughtful narrative that blends science fiction with heartfelt drama.

Whilst one reviewer drew parallels with Foe, the movies were completely different. I loved "In Vitro". It was unique, showcased Australia with a bespoke ensemble cast.

I found Foe had uneven pacing, with certain stretches feeling slow or overly contemplative. The narrative could also benefit from clearer exposition, as it sometimes leaves viewers grappling with the intricacies of its world-building and themes.
