Unplanned

Unplanned - 4/5

Most people who have heard about this movie already know whether they want to see it or not. For the rest of you, this movie presents a unique auto-biographical depiction of a behind-the-scenes look at the abortion industry. It has second-rate acting, to say the least, but all other aspects of the film making are the best I’ve seen from religious producers. The film wisely limits the Christianity to a few short scenes and instead emphasizes the topic at hand, so that non-Christians aren’t excluded from the conversation. Make no mistake this is a harrowing and deeply troubling story and like so many other great films before it, from Hotel Rwanda to Wind River, it’s a seriously important film that is too difficult for most people to watch.

Content Warning: abortion, pregnancy, miscarriage, etc.

Closest comparison: It’s like Schindler’s List with budget actors.
