MOVIE REVIEW: Quirky, wry, and touching abortion dramedy puts character ahead of politics.
It's a depressing fact of American life that it's currently impossible for a film about abortion to not be political. But it is more than possible for the politics to be implicit, rather than explicit, and to take a back seat to other aspects of the story: the personal, the practical, the emotional, the medical, and even the humorous., a deeply charming, funny, quirky, and intimate story of a woman faced with making quick decisions about a highly unexpected pregnancy.
It's an impactful decision, one that is clearly and constantly depicted as Cherry's choice. At the same time Trewhitt isn't interested in portraying her a wilting flower waiting to bloom into motherhood, or a hard-nosed pragmatist making a calculated pros-and-cons list. Instead, she's a 25-year-old who is already trying to work out what to do with her life, and this is just another decision on the pile.
Trewhitt presents a fascinating pairing with Galibert. The French director's feature debut, and only her fourth English-language project,is lo-fi and conversational, set in a recognizable L.A. where barely making it and getting your biggish break are a weekend apart. It never feels like a big issue movie, mainly because it retains that charming intimacy, powered by Trewhitt's lackadaisical charm.
life beyond this moment is that central idea of facing change, and realizing that not making a decision is in itself a decision. There's something heartwarming in it being less important what choice Cherry makes than in watching her try to make it for the right reasons.has been Austin’s independent news source for over 40 years, expressing the community’s political and environmental concerns and supporting its active cultural scene.
