Differentiating itself from Juno's puritan discourse, Ninjababy finds a safe space to consider a woman's options outside of having a traditional family, and on top of that, it's fun. A well-rounded work. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 9, 2022

One of the most enjoyable films of the year, one that would garner huge buzz and a massive cult following if it was in English.

| Original Score: 8/10 | May 10, 2022

An observant, punchy and highly amusing comedy drama whose result is neither dull nor hackneyed.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 26, 2022

It's quite a year on the festival circuit for Norwegian comedy-dramas about aimless women in their 20s who go back and forth between two different men and find themselves staring down the barrel of possible unwanted motherhood.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 29, 2021

A deeply humane film, one that really likes people for all our screwups.

| Oct 11, 2021

An incredible lead performance and unique, honest character work make this one of the year's best coming-of-age stories.

| Oct 6, 2021

Infused with the lively visual flourishes of its central cartoonist character, this sparky Norwegian comedy-drama approaches a serious story with refreshingly loose attitudes.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 16, 2021

The film is less a romcom than it is a coming-of-age movie about slacker Rakel finally being forced to grow up.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 12, 2021

A story of a woman's commitment to her needs and desires that allows itself to have fun.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 10, 2021

On paper, some of this sounds irritatingly quirky, but it's a film that really offers an honest look at a woman's life...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 8, 2021

A breath of fresh air. Playing with gender roles and the expectations placed on young women in society.

| Sep 6, 2021

Like last year's Baby Done and 2019's Saint Frances this is a thoroughly modern consideration of impending motherhood that doesn't shy away from subjects like casual sex and allows the mother not to be consumed by sudden maternal instinct.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 30, 2021

Flikke is admirably unsentimental about pregnancy and uses her protagonist's creative aspirations to literally animate the character's misgivings about motherhood in a way that's rare for movies.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 26, 2021

Yngvild Sve Flikke's sophomore feature manages to hide a surprisingly groundbreaking approach to the topic beneath a plethora of gags about sex, bodily functions, and everything in between.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 25, 2021

Kristine Kujath Thorp is a force of nature, a whirlwind of activity and extreme candour.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 23, 2021

Ninjababy is one of the most pleasant surprises of the year - it's a wildly creative, irreverent coming-of-age story that has so much charm and vitality that it can't help but win you over.

| Aug 22, 2021

There's nothing more refreshing than a film that isn't afraid to tell it like it is, especially when the norm is to tiptoe around difficult issues or tie things up in a dishonest little bow.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 20, 2021
