Featured review
Now more than ever, the topic of this film has become relevant again.
This basically shows part of the fight women had to go through to fet the right to decide over their own body.
And now half a century later (give or take a few years), that right is not just endangered, but seriously threatened again with Roe vs. Wade overturned.
Personally, I always felt that while certainly the opinion of the father (if he is in a relationship with the mother) should be considered, ultimately, this is the woman's body, and she has to decide.
So, this is an important topic, and the film has a good cast, but I can't go higher than 5 stars, because it is just not that good.
Talented actors, but no one is giving their best.
The film fails to hold the suspense and the attention of the viewers.
And I'm sorry to say this, but I have become tired of Elisabeth Banks, even in her comedies, it's always about women fighting against evil and mostly stupid men.
Women are always the better humans.
So even here, when I completely agree with the position of her character, when I'm completely with the message of the film, she actually makes me like the film less.
She has become an actor/director that does nothing but push an agenda, and I find it tiresome.
