Men bad, women good. No responsibility for women: it's always their choice, unlike for men, who have no means of escaping a life of indentured servitude after an unintended pregnancy that follows consensual sex.
Of course women are alwaysMen bad, women good. No responsibility for women: it's always their choice, unlike for men, who have no means of escaping a life of indentured servitude after an unintended pregnancy that follows consensual sex.
Of course women are always represented in the most sympathetic way possible, while men are evil, harassing, controlling. I can see why women love this movie, cannot see a single reason why a man would.… Expand

I actually bumped up the rating due to the amount of negative reviews due to politics.

A "meh" movie with a very "meh" attitude, much like its two young protagonists, who look thoroughly bored and unimpressed throughout the entire film's runtime. No exaggeration, almost the entire thing consists of Sidney Flanigan and TaliaA "meh" movie with a very "meh" attitude, much like its two young protagonists, who look thoroughly bored and unimpressed throughout the entire film's runtime. No exaggeration, almost the entire thing consists of Sidney Flanigan and Talia Ryder's bored and nonchalant facial expressions, which in turn made it pretty difficult for me to invest in them and their characters. Furthermore, the film itself simply feels as though it approaches its intended message (abortion) with a shrug, not really adding or contributing anything new, worthwhile, or compelling. Overall, there's nothing really too remarkable here. A seemingly "meh" and half-baked approach deserves a "meh" and half-baked score from me.… Expand

Or a statement? This indie offering about a pregnant Pennsylvania teen who travels to New York City to obtain an abortion seeks to combine story threads about this controversial subject with an adolescent finding herself over her head on the streets of the big city. Unfortunately, the two don't mesh well, creating a film that struggles desperately to find its feet. To its credit, director Eliza Hittman's latest effectively presents a balanced view of this hot button topic and sensitively portrays the fear that an adolescent in this position might experience, thanks in large part to the outstanding lead performance of newcomer Sidney Flanigan. However, the film's unfocused intent, sometimes-sluggish pacing, obvious thematic allusions and uneven (sometimes contradictory) character development get in the way, leaving viewers wondering exactly what the director was going for here. Despite the many inflated accolades this one has received, considerable fine tuning is definitely in order here.… Expand
