Reception

[edit]

David Rooney of Variety wrote:

A suspenseful melodrama about an unorthodox family unit, Baby represents a slick but distancing feature debut for German commercials and musicvideo director Philipp Stolzl, who made clips for Rammstein, Faith No More, Garbage and Madonna, among others. Blighted by a script that fails to create even one engaging character with any evident emotional transition, the film aims for a droll, dark register but comes off as merely smug and cold.[2]
