Birth

Grade: D

Premise: A young boy tries to convince a widow that he is the reincarnation of her husband.

Recommend: Yes, well sort of. I really liked this movie. The cast was wonderful - notable were Nicole Kidman and Cameron Bright (young boy). CB was able to look like a child and an adult at the same time - wonderfully creepy. The biggest problem with this movie is the pacing. It was 1 hr 40 min and it felt like days. If you can sit through really really REALLY slow movies - then you might enjoy this. That's the reason I gave it a "D+" - there is absolutely NO WAY I could sit through this again.
