Ninjababy: the review of the film by Yngvild Sve Flikke

No.INJABABY
Genre: comedy ✦✦ 1/2
Direction: Yngvild Sve Flikke. With Kristine Kujath Thorp, Arthur Berning, Nader Khademi

Kristine Kujath Thorp in “Ninjababy”.

Rakel, 23-year-old Norwegian with a knack for graphic novels (the movie comes from there), discovers pregnant. Belatedly. In the sixth month of pregnancy, abortion is no longer an option for her. Adoption (possibly also to Angelina Jolie), on the other hand.

But the director shuns that happy ending (it was the fate of Junoin 2008) to turn a potentially tragic subject into a comedy that tells something about the difficulties and desires of young Europeans, not just Scandinavians.

The dialogue that the future mother has with the fetus sketched in pencil it passes from blackmail to flattery, and it is not really a novelty.

On the other hand, the gaze on women and youth is correct and contemporary, freed from an idea of ​​responsibility that no longer holds. And the admissibility of non-desire for motherhood.
