Abortion is an under-addressed topic in cinema; hell, the very mention of it will make a movie unmarketable in certain places. That makes it all the more refreshing to see Eliza Hittman's "Never Rarely Sometimes Always", about a small-town teenager whose unplanned pregnancy necessitates a trip to New York.
The movie deliberately has the action move slowly so as to let the characters develop, and does a masterful job at it. The audience is invested in the protagonist, caring deeply what happens to her. I hope that Hittman keeps making this sort of movie, and I hope to see Sidney Flanagan in more movies. Excellent.
