Watched Vivarium (2019) because it was constantly recommended by Prime and I'm a fan of both Jesse Eisenberg and Imogen Poots.
Fantastic Twilight Zone concept (A couple get treated to a house tour in a suburb where all the houses are literally the same & soon find themselves in a labyrinth of homes, forced to raise a baby boy) unfortunately stretched out to movie length. Very solid first half but a tedious second half that doesn't quite keep up the engagement of the first half. The plot kind of dissolves after the initial setup with not much in the way of explanation going on so you kind of have to make your own inferences and determinations as a viewer as to what's going on and
.
6/10 more because I liked the actors & the concept. The first half was great and I liked some parts of the second half but it's clear the concept was stretched too thin.

there's zero explanation behind this alien race? using a vivarium to force multiple people to raise its offspring
