Featured review
A well done take on abortion. Like it a lot!!
It's actually pretty impressive how well balanced this movie is about the subject. Just when you thought it was going to take just one side to the subject of abortion, a new shoe is dropped to show how multilayered and diverse this manner is. Basically, no woman left behind or taken out of the equation.
That would be impressive just for a contemporary movie, yet alone one set in the 1960s.
Plus, in my opinion it went through the medical details of an abortion fairly. Meaning they just explained the procedure without guiding you anyway. I've seen content that is supposed to be pro chose purposely, make the whole process look more frightening than it needs to. This movie was just trying to shed some much-needed light on the subject.
I can't recall a better work of political art than this movie. I feel like the filmmakers deserve a thanks.
