Certainly, you have to say that Natasha Lyonne, a personal favourite who seems to have cornered a certain market in the roles that Christina Ricci used to specialise in, is marvellously cast, drifting through with a sarcastically wide-eyed realism. She, and Chloe Sevigny to a lesser extent, nail their parts well. It is also nice to see Meg Tilly back on screens – her career was on the rise in the 1980s but she drifted away in the 1990s. She’s playing a middle-aged fruit loop who gets dragged into proceedings and is perfect in the part.

But the film itself? It should be witty and quirky in the same way that Repo Man was. In trying to give us an unblinking look at the world of the white American underclass, the experience is akin to sitting around a trailer park as people hit the bong pipes in the wee hours of the morning – a film that rambles without any coherent idea of where it is going, drifts off into loopy conspiracy theories involving alien impregnations and government agencies, and the rest of the time seems on the verge of falling asleep at the wheel. If you watch all the way to the end through the 94 interminable-seeming minutes, there is a great last scene where Natasha Lyonne finally gives birth to a mutant alien head, followed by its headless body forcing its way out her womb. It almost makes the rest of the film worth watching.

Antibirth was the second film for Danny Perez who had previously made Oddsac (2010), an experimental film with the band Animal Collective.
