Marianna Palka's amusing and clever feature; "Egg" shows the Scottish actor-director's continuing ability to ground her films with strong character work and a buoyant sense of humor
daring and modestly accomplished, lifted by two terrific performances; It works best as a drama laced with unblinkered truths about the sometimes ruthless, sometimes warm-hearted ways that women see themselves and each other
"Egg" deserves credit for shedding a special light on women ...Its ultimate sympathy for these women may be at odds with earlier jabs at them, but it creates an empathetic space that is surprisingly emotionally satisfying
