      Samantha Bergeson indieWire “Preconceived” faces women’s healthcare head-on, and while the structuring of the doc may have benefitted from a different chronology at times, the film’s message is resoundingly poignant. Rated: B+ Mar 9, 2024 Full Review Lovia Gyarkye Hollywood Reporter The strength of Preconceived lies in its access to a broad range of perspectives and in the quiet force of the interviews. Mar 9, 2024 Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots Captures the nuances of the complex, controversial issue of abortion by focusing on the popular “Crisis Pregnancy Centers” (aka fake abortion clinics). This documentary will make your blood boil, and it's a must-see for all advocates of women’s rights. Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex Watching stories like the ones Maleeha and Maria faced reinforces the importance of movies like Preconceived. Dumke & Keane build a critical teaching tool that exposes the dangers pregnancy resource centers pose. Rated: 7/10 Mar 13, 2024 Full Review Carla Renata The Curvy Film Critic With IVF rights, the Cox case in Texas lurking around the corner, and CPC's popping up all over the country this doc is right on time. There has never been more urgency around women's rights than in this moment of history Mar 10, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
