Review of 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007) by The3Academysins — 10 Feb 2020

This movie is one of the most powerful, shocking, realistic movies I've ever seen. It also somehow pulls off the impossible task of making a well-rounded argument about abortion without getting too political. That probably sounds insane, but I swear it's true. If you are anti-abortion, you might leave this film with the belief that we need to legalize it completely. If you are pro-abortion, you will definitely find yourself second-guessing your beliefs, because this movie does revel in some gruesome imagery.

The color scheme of 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days is stunning. The cinematography and direction is immaculate. The acting is really great, and really hard to watch. I don't know if I'll ever watch it again because its so upsetting, but I am really glad I watched it. It can be slow at times, and that's not always a good thing, but this is a must-watch movie. I'd put it up there with works like Schindler's List or Twelve Years a Slave.
