Or it all might be a front for some "Rosemary's Baby"-like conspiracy. Does she really go out for "Mom drinks" with the breezily gorgeous group of local women who go running every morning pushing baby carriages in front of them? Spencer seems like a good guy, and although his mom might be a little overbearing, they are also rightfully concerned. The possibility that the whole film is Jo's hallucination grows with every passing moment. Wohl keeps the film in close first-person, so Jo's increasingly terrified mindset is made manifest visibly, with lots of shock cuts and hallucinatory elements, where you're not sure what is real and what isn't. Jo wonders if her husband and her mother-in-law ( Jayne Atkinson) are in cahoots, if the neighbors are on the level, or if there isn't something sinister going on. But Jo can't shake the feeling that something else is going on. It's what they do." Everybody tells her this. She feels like the baby is "punishing" her for something, there's a flaw in Jo's character only Ruby perceives. Ruby cries all the time, and Jo takes the crying personally.
Ruby is perceived by Jo as a raging malevolent creature. "Baby Ruby" is about a woman's experience of not just postpartum depression but postpartum psychosis, and her conviction that her newborn baby is somehow angry with her. Her fans are at first concerned and then irritated. The nine months of pregnancy provided Jo with so much "content"! Then radio silence once the baby is born. She writes about the baby shower, peppering the post with affiliate links. A lifestyle blogger puts everything else online. Since she built a brand "curating" her stylish French-woman-in-America life, the question posed to her by a confused fan is not unwarranted. Jo ( Noémie Merlant), a French lifestyle blogger living "upstate" with her husband Spencer ( Kit Harington), has just had a baby. This moment comes early in "Baby Ruby," playwright Bess Wohl's directorial debut. Or maybe you posted a pic, and I just missed it? What's wrong? It's really weird you haven't posted a picture of your baby online. If your baby isn't online, something's wrong. The assumptions implied are stark: Your baby should be online. Maybe I missed it?"Ī mere 10, or 15 years ago, these words would have made little to no sense.
