Molly Bernard ('Younger') plays a rudderless young New Yorker attempting to give meaning to her life by becoming a surrogate for an older gay man who wants a child in writer-director Morgan Ingari's debut feature
takes its title from "The Consecrating Mother" by Anne Sexton, the Pulitzer-winning mid-20th century American poet who wrote with stark confessional candor about the intimate physical and emotional experience of womanhood. That makes it natural to expect a singular focus in Morgan Ingari's likable first feature about a directionless young woman who impulsively decides to become a surrogate for an older gay man she barely knows.
The early scenes have the overwritten feel of sitcom dialogue — albeit decent sitcom dialogue — and Ingari gives Milo not one but two meet-cutes. The first is with 52-year-old Roger , a gay man who runs a drag bar, where he performs under the stage name Angela Merkin. When he gets stood up and she gets abandoned by George at the Phoenix , Roger and Milo instantly click.
Initially perplexed George becomes a swift supporter, or an enabler according to skeptical lawyer Noor, who is vocally opposed. "It's never a decision with you, it's always just an impulse," she tells Milo. Cameron learns about her intentions just as the sex is heating up on their first date. He takes the news on board, even if he seems unconvinced by the hunger for intense experience that's supposedly driving her.
