One of Our Own is a 2007 independent drama film directed by Abe Levy.
Plot
[edit]A married couple, Stellan (Josh Randall) and Diane (Claire Rankin), enlist a surrogate named Cathy (Kate Beahan), to bear their child. The situation is complicated when Stellan's boss Bob (Matthew Lillard) falls in love with Cathy.[1][2]
Reception
[edit]One of Our Own was not given a commercial release, as financial backers insisted on edits which were unpalatable to director Levy and star Lillard. An unmodified version was shown at film festivals in 2007 and 2008.[3]
Ken Eisner of Variety compared the film to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, writing:
Bolstered by a smart script and razor-sharp perfs, this impressively taut adult drama reps an edgy yet amusing look at middle-class fertility rites. Presence of funnyman Matthew Lillard in a harder, change-of-pace role could help get this gem to the right thirtysomething auds.[1]
