It looked fine halfway through, with shocking acting and a very fresh take on the subject showing the pain of female childbearing.

But there are perhaps many ways in which this mere performance can be interpreted positively, the only thing that surprised me was the twist at the end.

Why did the young girl want to have a baby after two such horrible failed births? And why is that wife still being persuaded to return to a patriarchal family. It just instantly puts the director's purpose into perspective.

A good postmodernist work was turned into a modernist, shameful utopian fantasy.

This kind of depiction of pain before urging people to embrace it is unspeakable!
