Egg is a 2018 American comedy film directed by Marianna Palka and written by Risa Mickenberg. The film stars Christina Hendricks, Alysia Reiner, David Alan Basche, Anna Camp and Gbenga Akinnagbe. The plot centers on conceptual artist Tina (Reiner), when she introduces her eight-month pregnant art school rival (Hendricks) to her non-traditional surrogate Kiki (Camp), the truth comes out and the patriarchy fights to hang on.
An unflinching comedy about why women choose motherhood, why they revere it, fear it, and why some women choose to forgo it. Over the course of one explosive evening, two couples and a surrogate must face their own ridiculous and sometimes heartbreaking shortcomings.
Egg premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 21, 2018.[2] The film was released theatrically and digitally in the United States on January 18, 2019, by Gravitas Ventures.[3]
