Meg Tilly and Natasha Lyonne in ANTIBIRTH
Meg Tilly (Lorna Corbett in all episodes) is conspiracy theorist Lorna (last name unspecified) in Danny Perez‘ surrealistic science fiction horror comedy ANTIBIRTH. Natasha Lyonne stars as Lou, a stoner who wakes up after a night of partying with recurring visions and symptoms of a strange illness. Simon Abrams of RogerEbert.com wrote: “This movie is peculiar. Its pacing is all-over-the-map. Violence sometimes threatens to break out, but it rarely does…protagonists are often characterized through realistic dialogue (lots of cursing, vernacular, and naturalistic pauses) [but] they’re just a dream sequence, pot-induced flashback, or song cue away from becoming subsumed by elusive dream logic. Oh, and this film is also kinda funny.” ANTIBIRTH can be streamed on AMC+.
