Don’t let the title put you off. Its four seemingly disconnected words are very apparent in a devastating abortion clinic scene in which Autumn must submit to a bruising set of questions posed by a compassionate administrator. You won’t soon forget the title of this film after seeing that scene, or the nearly wordless and heartbreaking responses from Autumn.
But this movie isn’t a polemic on the hot-button issue of abortion; rather, it shows the process it takes, and in Autumn’s case, that means at the 18-week mark in the pregnancy. It’s more complicated than they thought, so she and Skylar are forced to lug their suitcases around in search of a place to stay, and also to get money for the trip back home after the procedure. A young man they met on the bus becomes the answer to that problem, but it requires some flirtation on Skylar’s part.
The quality of this film should not come as a surprise as Adele Romanski, who won a Best Picture Oscar for is one of its producers, and that film’s Oscar-winning writer-director Barry Jenkins serves as an executive producer. The same attributes that madeso memorable also are on view here — a very moving and sensitive story with its focus squarely on human beings. Focus Features opens it in limited release on Friday. Check out my video review with scenes from the film at the link above.
