roman polanski have make many and many movie that be unexceptional . his fame bewilders me . nothing stand out a a high point except chinatown ( i haven not see knife in the water or tess ) . any contribution he make to film conclude more than twenty year ago while his work be just embarrassing and safe and or or dull ( the pianist and frantic and oliver twist and the ninth gate and pirate ) . r baby must have signify the end of the establishment at the time it come out . it lux produce and fairly high concept for a 1968 horror movie ( never show the baby ) . but this be just misconceive horror sap . everything be arty to the point that the plot line become hopelessly clear very early ( um and thanks for that finale destroy title ) and and on a clear day you can see the twist end come for day . it do not sustain my interest . i find that whatever this movie might have be and it be utterly derail by the 1960 version of what femininity be . farrow be such a chronic distract and helpless waif or housewife . her frailty be oversold . she irritate in the extreme . there no real idea in it . nothing to consider except be the mother of the devil . the dakota be barely exploit for it eerie potential .
