C G Heartbreaking, amazing actors, unfortunately realistic. Some surprise in terms of expectations which is always welcome : not by the number movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/24 Full Review romina r This is a very good movie about a very serious matter. But as a side note I'd really like to know why they'd be carrying around such a big suitcase if they never got to change their clothes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/24 Full Review Audience Member Difficult subject, convincingly played out - just very really well dealt with Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Dom F There are films that have the potential to make you think, this is one of those that makes you realise you have waisted your time! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review tom m Well done. A quality telling of a challenging, sad story. It is interesting how much is conveyed with so little dialogue and scenes filled with lots of silence. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Amy L very powerful and a must-watch now that women are losing reproductive rights. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/14/22 Full Review Read all reviews
