Chase Hutchinson Seattle Times Telling the story of an obstetrician working in a rural town in the country of Georgia who also performs abortions outside work, it’s a quiet wail in the darkness of the night, hurtling along with all the force of a lightning bolt. Rated: 4/4 May 14, 2025 Full Review Tim Grierson Los Angeles Times Not quite a thriller and not quite a horror movie, “April” is all the more haunting for never pinning down the roots of Nina’s retreat from life while dedicating herself to improving the lives of others. May 5, 2025 Full Review Simran Hans New Statesman It’s a serious approach that declines to show the audience the mother’s catharsis, a challenge to the idea that birth is always joy, and abortion always terror. Apr 28, 2025 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue ... a quietly powerful exploration of oppression and resistance that’s both stylish and provocative — giving fresh relevance to familiar themes. May 20, 2025 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film It’s not unusual to say that something cuts through the silence but in Dea Kulumbegashvili’s April it’s the silence that cuts through us. Rated: 4.5/5 May 5, 2025 Full Review Michael Nordine Movie Brief It’s such a bravura display of filmmaking that you’ll keep your eyes on the screen even when you want to look away. Rated: 3.5/4 May 1, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Thomas C Somber and disquieting. Stunningly shot and unapologetically artistically relentless in some visceral scenes. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Read all reviews
