Reviews
The Surrogate has garnered mixed responses from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 5.4/10, reflecting a polarized reception. Entertainment Weekly remarked, 'The film offers a thought-provoking scenario and Sellecca's performance is commendable, drawing audiences into the moral dilemmas presented.' Conversely, some critics noted that while the premise is intriguing, it fails to delve deeply into the emotional impacts of surrogacy, mentioning that 'the narrative feels somewhat superficial, failing to exploit its dramatic potential fully.' Despite its flaws, viewers have appreciated the film’s ability to spark conversations about family dynamics, with one user on Rotten Tomatoes stating, 'While it may not win any awards, it definitely opened my eyes to the challenges faced by surrogates.' Overall, the film touches upon a sensitive topic with sensitivity but leaves some viewers wanting more depth in character development and trajectory.
