Review of Obvious Child (2014) by Spencer K — 10 Aug 2015
I adore this movie. It was hilarious and honest. Donna (Slate) was an amazing character that is still trying to work things out in life. She goes through some common issues such as a break up, difficulties with her mom, and waking up after a drunk one night stand.
The entire time between the doctors visit and the abortion she was not torn between to have it or not, it was whether she should tell Sam (Cross) who is the father. She constantly pushes him away until she finally confesses in her comedy act making a heart felt declaration.
Even the whole encounter with her mom, which turned out to be understanding and loving, didn't question the abortion. A strong feminist film that reflects the realities of the time and the necessary options women need to fight to keep.
