Vivarium

A young couple viewing a starter home in a new development cannot find the way out of the estate.

Every house is identical, the clouds are painted, and there is no traffic. A box arrives with a baby in it and a note saying they will be released when they raise it.

Lorcan Finnegan makes it about mortgages and reproduction as a trap, which is not subtle and does not need to be. The estate is called Yonder and the houses are number 9.

Imogen Poots and Jesse Eisenberg are given nothing to do except deteriorate, and the film is deliberately airless and repetitive, which is either the point or the problem depending on the viewer.

The child is the most unpleasant thing in it and the performance is a real achievement.
