What Critics Are Saying About "Baby Ruby"

  • "Playwright Bess Wohl's feature-directing debut is a sly, mutant meld of horror thriller, feminist satire and subjective, postpartum paranoia study. It's serious about how the demands of baby care can overwhelm, and skeptical of societal pressures on women to not just accept but love motherhood's burdens." - Bob Strauss, San Francisco Chronicle
  • "Baby Ruby makes a valuable contribution to the emerging cinematic literature on the unspoken realities of women's lived experience - with style, disarming honesty, and a steady and intelligent hand." - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
  • "Baby Ruby operates at a high-pitched melodrama-horror level, and the constant frenzy becomes exhausting. The film's nerves become so frayed there's almost no feeling left in them; the terror is monotonous and repetitive." - Sheila O'Malley, RogerEbert.com
