Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Black and white. If you are pro-choice, you will skip or wish they omitted the abortion scene. If you are pro-life that will be your most memorable part of the movie. After, the doctor says "Now she can go on with her life, go to school, without taking on the responsibility of becoming a parent..." CUT to a strainer filled with a mashed up pile of pulpy flesh, yet at center in perfect focus, a tiny, open hand. Burned a permanent image into my retina. Wow.Many pro-lifers ARE crazy, and they should realize that there is nothing they can do to end abortion. They cannot share their point of view without being judgmental. Black and white.

Great documentary that really makes you think about the issue of abortion (even if you don't live in the USA). It also made me thankful that I don't live in the US if I am honest.The 'Pro Life' issue I though was explored very well. What happens after the birth, do these people care? Are they all anti war, anti capital punishment?I was also shocked that it was an issue that people went so far as to perform acts of Terror over- killing a man, in front of his children, via sniper rifle- is so far from 'Pro Life' its untrue.The shooting in black and white really adds to the effect of the movie.Well worth a watch- in this day and age a film that makes you think is a rare treat indeed.!

The only thing important missing from the film is the impact that overturning Roe v Wade might have on the infertility industry. My husband and I had to resort to in vitro in order to conceive our twin boys. Four fertilized eggs were implanted in me. Fortunately, only two remained viable. But what if all four survived? I would have chosen to "reduce" the embryos. As it was my pregnancy was difficult. I went into pre-term labor at 28 weeks. At 32 weeks they had to induce as my babies were starting to kill me. Imagine if I hadn't had the option to "reduce" and all four implanted. What if the law required me to carry the fetuses until my life was in danger instead of "reducing" early in the pregnancy? Or, what if I had 14 embryos, 4 implanted and 10 frozen? Would the frozen ones then be considered "alive" and therefore could not be discarted? What would be the option then? Would I be prosecuted for 10 counts of murder? So I think the film needed to cover this aspect of the debate. Otherwise it was an exceptional documentary.

I saw a few people on here proclaiming themselves as pro-life and panning the film for supposedly being biased against their view.First of all, purely on balance alone I'd say the film is equal to both sides. It's just that most of the stuff which makes you want to be pro-life comes at the beginning of the film while most of the content which makes you want to be pro-choice comes in the second half. It seems to me that they're just upset that their side didn't get the proverbial last word.Secondly, this film is not about balance anyway. It's about documenting the cultural debate in the film about abortion in America. Whether one or two dissenting reviewers of this film are or not, the fact is that most of the pro-life advocates are Christian religious fringe. Of course there are exceptions, and they document that in the movie. Although I don't think Kaye should have given an hour to the secular atheist pro-lifers, because frankly there aren't that many of them.The criticism also seem to come from people who don't even understand any points being made in the movie -- one reviewer claimed that Chomsky was comparing abortion to a woman washing her hands. That's not what he was doing at all. His example was made to demonstrate the relativity involved with the process of placing value on life.In any event, the film definitely is a roller coaster ride, and there are times where you might find yourself at odds with your own opinion. The movie being as balanced as it is, probably wont change a lot of minds, but I would think at the very least it would soften your position one way or another. If it doesn't, you're either just stubborn, or you weren't even trying to pay attention to the message of the film.
