Reviews:

While the film has a few hiccups, the package as a whole comes across as a truly moving experience that challenges the audience’s morals with really thought-provoking dialogue. Along with Jasmine Batchelor’s phenomenal performance, ‘The Surrogate’ is an important film that everyone should check out.

This movie put me in mind of a popular saying coined by Evelyn Beatrice Hall but widely misattributed to Voltaire: “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” The problem, however, is not whether I agreed or disagreed with what the protagonist, Jess, has to say; the problem is that, if I were to defend what she says to the death, I’d be liable to find out, right as I’m about to shuffle off my mortal coil, that she just flip-flopped on me.

Jess talks the talk – and she certainly talks a good game –, but when push comes to shove, she doesn’t walk the walk. That is, she talks business but doesn’t mean business, and when it’s time to put her money where her mouth is, she totally flakes out. So not only did I disagree with Jess, but found her, as a character, disagreeable because she doesn’t have convictions so much as she has opinions – or, to be more exact, she always has one and the same opinion, and that opinion is whatever stands in opposition to what everybody else thinks.

In one word, Jess is a contrarian, and her agenda doesn’t revolve about doing what’s right but about proving the others wrong. That’s too bad because the movie touches on some very polarizing issues but ultimately lacks the courage to take a definite stance, and the cop-out ending takes what could have been a thought-provoking film and turns it into self-indulging, self-righteous fence riding.

Bitter sweet like life itself
A bold little project which skilfully and realistically addresses the tough issues of mental and physical illnesses in the unborn, the morality of abortion, as well as the trials, tribulations and dilemmas faced by those seeking to do a good deed by agreeing to the role of a surrogate mother.

While the movie still inevitably channels the ideological undertones of the 2020s social justice movement, it does so without resorting to the so often seen preachy and idealized styles of other similarly themed works.

An example of this innovative take on long-standing social issues can be seen in the fact that the would-be surrogate mother is not providing her services out of financial necessity (being an Ivy League college graduate with a successful career in New York City, as well as the daughter of an Ivy League dean), but rather out of a genuine altruistic will to help a same-sex couple start a family. In another example of the movie’s daring style, the same-sex couple which was initially optimistic about the prospect of parenthood, later on begins to be portrayed as playing a rarely seen villainous and morally questionable role. Namely, while most movies tend to present same-sex would-be parents as almost infallible – as devoid of any superficial mindsets or selfish qualities, The Surrogate gives a refreshing dose of emotional and moral depth to such couples, by showing that they are only human too.

Amazing drama !
Incredible acting and direction. The drama is so well played that you feel like you are sitting in the room with the actors. The ethical dilemmas are uncovered with such eloquence and finesse that when the film ends you need some minutes to process in silence.
