Ilana Glazer won’t let gaslighting distract from her mother’s intuition in “False Positive.” The Hulu pic sees the “Broad City” alumna playing Lucy, who begins to believe she can be “one of those women who has it all” after she and her partner (Justin Theroux) find their dream fertility doctor (Pierce Brosnan) following months of trying and failing to get pregnant.
“I will give you the best possible chance of getting pregnant,” Dr. Hindle promises the couple in a new trailer. Lucy does get pregnant, but she simultaneously starts to feel “a little crazy” and begins “seeing things.” A sympathetic friend (Sophia Bush) attributes Lucy’s experience to “mommy brain,” but the mom-to-be is beginning to think Dr. Hindle “did something.”
“I’m not crazy. They’re trying to make me think I’m crazy,” Lucy tells her partner. She decides that she wants to see someone “more natural.”
Best known for co-creating and starring in “Broad City,” Glazer’s other credits include “Rough Night” and “The Night Before.”
Written by Glazer and director John Lee (“Search Party”), “False Positive” drops on Hulu June 25. Zainab Jah (“Deep State”) and Gretchen Mol (“Perry Mason”) co-star.
