Birth

Birth (2004) is Jonathan Glazer's eerie psychological drama you can watch online on iFILM. A decade after losing her husband Sean, Anna is ready to remarry. Then a ten-year-old boy walks into her engagement party.

The child says his name is Sean. He claims to be her dead husband, reborn. And he knows things no stranger could possibly know — private memories, old habits, the texture of a marriage. Anna tries to brush it off. She can't. Her fiancé Joseph seethes, her family panics, and Nicole Kidman, mostly through silence and a single famous close-up, shows a woman whose certainties are dissolving.

Glazer films a frozen, hushed Manhattan, paired with Alexandre Desplat's unsettling score. Lauren Bacall, Danny Huston and Anne Heche fill out the cast. The film refuses to tell you whether the boy is a fraud, a delusion or something stranger, and it has divided audiences ever since. Stream Birth (2004) online on iFILM.
