Claire is a famous pianist whose life is constantly controlled by her husband Frederic, who also acts as her agent/coach/minder. For the sake of Claire's career, both have decided not to have children; but Frederic changes his mind after witnessing a baby being unexpectedly delivered in public. He tampers with her birth control pills so that she becomes pregnant. What has started out as an unnerving film on toxic masculinity morphs into a wacky comedy, thanks to the unmistakable raw documentary style of Sophie Letourneur. Énorme bends expectations, genders and couple dynamics in unexpected, weird and tender ways. Claire rediscovers a body she has neglected and a sense of freedom. Frederic lives his wife's pregnancy more than by proxy: gaining weight, attending courses for expectant moms and 'feeling' her pain. It's in its most absurd moments that the film tackles womanhood the best. (International Film Festival Rotterdam)
