Quartile rating: 6.5/10 · 1 rating
Kate and Matt discover that a part of their house can grant wishes. In the wake of two miscarriages, what they want most is a child.
This Belgian-French sci-fi horror explores wish fulfillment and its dark consequences with a reasonably compelling premise centered on grief and parenthood. The plot is intriguing but loses coherence as it progresses, relying on familiar 'be careful what you wish for' territory while adding some genuinely unsettling twists around the manufactured child. Acting is serviceable but uneven, with the leads delivering inconsistent emotional authenticity. Cinematography is competent and atmospheric without being visually distinctive. The concept of a wish-granting room tied to miscarriage grief gives it some originality, though it doesn't fully escape genre conventions. The ending attempts to deliver on the film's darker implications but feels somewhat rushed and undercooked relative to the moral complexity it sets up.
