... there's much truth and food for thought contained within even the most over-the-top moments.

It's nice to see Palka embracing the messiness of feminist theses as she progresses in her career, and if she continues delivering a movie a year, someday we'll likely be able to examine the full life of a woman through the entirety of her body of work.

Its ultimate sympathy for these women may be at odds with earlier jabs at them, but it creates an empathetic space that is surprisingly emotionally satisfying.

The highlights of Egg come when that odd, uncomfortable formality fades away and Karen and Tina speak openly to each other as only old friends can, for better or worse.

Mickenberg's dialogue is sharp and provocative... and Camp's arrival throws a surprise spanner into the works.

"Egg" is a film that will likely be appreciated by women more than men. (Not that the reverse ever stopped Hollywood from making a movie.) The entire film centers around women's choices and changing identities.

One of THE worst movies I've ever seen. Film tried to appear nuanced, but the overall message falls flat. Most definitely not a comedy, nor a feminist film. I think those who say they love it are only pretending. It seems like a film for pretentious, holier-than-thou people. Wish I could get two hours of my life back.

This is an unremarkable artsy fartsy film trying to hard to make a statement. Some parts are overly scripted and cringe worthy. This is just another film that does nothing more than tries to make their audience feeling negative. Why? Just why? Rotten Tomato's is suppose to help audience make informed movie choices, but this goes to show how out of touch some critics are with what the public interprets as good. Are the masses wrong, or perhaps the critics need to recalibrate a bit?

Egg was supposed to fight the patriarchial norms of women having babies, but I found the movie extensively pro-life and antagonizing a female character who chose abortion over having a child.
