This movie felt like it was building and building, with many different "clues" that left you wondering what the big "payoff" would be. Until it sputters and slowly comes to an end, much like defective fireworks.
I really was enjoying this movie for the first 40 minutes or so, and it really felt like they were building to a big reveal of a malevolent force or something along those lines but then they reveal that (SPOILER ALERT) the kid she's been working to bring to America the entire time has been dead.
It kind of made this movie just seem like a sick joke. She works for these entitled yuppies who over work her and under pay her, and finally, after all of her hard work is supposed to pay off she has her legs cut out from under her. So when they just kill off her kid she's been working so hard to bring over it just feels sick and wrong. Then it shows she was already pregnant I guess? And she turns around and has a "replacement kid"? Then they show her with a new baby for like two minutes and then she's laying in a tub and it cuts to the credits. I don't know if there was something lost in translation for me or what but I either didn't "get" this movie or there was nothing to get in the first place...
