False Positive (2021)

Plot Overview
"False Positive" is a 2021 thriller movie directed by John Lee. It follows the storyline of Lucy (played by Ilana Glazer) and Adrian (played by Justin Theroux), a couple who is frantically trying to develop a child. After failing to get pregnant, they resort to the specialized services of fertility specialist Dr. Hindle (played by Pierce Brosnan).

Initial Developments
Adrian, who occurs to be a former student of Dr. Hindle, convinces Lucy to visit the distinguished fertility center. After carrying out a series of tests, Dr. Hindle uses the couple a revolutionary, albeit questionable, procedure referred to as Intrauterine Insemination (IUI). The treatment shows successful and Lucy soon learns she's expecting twins-- a boy and a woman.

Suspense and Mystery Build
However, Lucy starts noticing something is wrong. She grows increasingly suspicious about Dr. Hindle and his center, driven by her gut impulses and disturbing dreams. Lucy confirms her suspicions of foul play when she overhears a discussion between her husband and Dr. Hindle. Realizing that they both had actually apparently made choices about her body and coming children without her input, she spirals into an investigation of her own, exposing scary secrets.

Troubling Discoveries
Upon examining, Lucy discovers the fact: her pregnancy is the result of a sinister experiment by Dr. Hindle, who, unbeknownst to her, had actually implanted Adrian's picked embryos inside her, with the objective of producing the 'ideal' offspring. The male child is preferred while the female infant-- called the 'Lesser Beta'-- is planned to act merely as a nourishing vessel to enhance the male fetus. Lucy is horrified by the discovery and her failure to safeguard her unborn child.

Climax and Conclusion
In a surreal, nightmare-like climax, Lucy gives birth in Dr. Hindle's center. Nevertheless, things go awry, leading to a frantic, horrifying sequence leading to an ending that leaves the audience in shock. She manages to get away the clinic with her child girl, leaving the now deceased 'Alpha' male child and Dr. Hindle.

General Theme and Message
"False Positive" embraces a horrifyingly unique point of view, tapping into the anxieties and fears connected with pregnancy and the sense of losing control over one's own body. It assesses the extremely genuine worries and stress and anxieties ladies face about their bodies, reproductive rights, and the pressures of motherhood. The incredible breaches of trust and autonomy that Lucy experiences also serve as a critique to patriarchy's control over the female body.

Leaning heavily into its scary aesthetic appeals, "False Positive" leverages an eerie soundtrack, upsetting visual hints and a palpable tension to bring its narrative to life. The control men, particularly in positions of power, workout over females's bodies - frequently disguised as 'what's finest for them' forms an underlying present throughout the movie, making it a haunting watch.
