Winner of the Palme d'Or in 2007. Two dorm roommates in 1987 Romania struggle to get an illegal abortion for one of them. This felt more like witnessing reality than watching a movie. Tension throughout. I recommend this one. |

A haunting film with impressive, real performances and dialogue. It takes an observer's perspective on a young woman's abortion, neither condoning nor condemning the act, but serving as a reminder of how relationships are affected by life choices. The stationary camerawork allows you to focus on the performances. Deserving of all its praise. |

a hard story and hard choices by director, fixed camera almost all scenes, despite all of them it takes you on your seat. A great work.. |

Devastatingly frank, realistic, and sometimes mortifying drama that takes a long time to tell its story because it encompasses so many mundane details; one feels a need to get to know the other girl a bit more than her friend (who does all but have the abortion for her). Final Grade: B

Has a Realistic Feel |

This was an interesting move-going experience because I expected it to be like “Lake of Fire” only in a different language. The gritty tempo of it really worked for me because the situations the characters were in, the way they thought, talked and acted when faced with a dilemma could happen to anyone. This movie being in a different language did not bother me at all because the central issue is universal, especially in countries where it’s illegal or it’s looked down upon to get an abortion. The acting here is pretty believable and downright impressive thirty minutes into the film; each character is complex because all of them are flawed. Yet, it’s easy to connect with them, at least for me, because I saw a bit of myself in them. They deny the truth when reality is giving them the chance... |
