Description

Trudie Styler’s new film “Up Against It” tackles a modern family crisis through the eyes of a 14-year-old girl, Rose, caught between her parents’ new relationships and a medical emergency that forces them to consider creating a biological sibling — raising urgent ethical questions they barely explore. While Eva Birthistle and Antonio Banderas deliver standout performances, the film’s disjointed pacing and tone-swapping between comedy and drama leave its ambitious themes undercooked, turning what could’ve been a poignant story into a scattered, concept-heavy experience.
