Review of Obvious Child (2009) by Stefan L — 01 Feb 2017

One of the most depressing films I've ever seen portraying some of the most horrible I've ever seen. The life of the let's make believe crowd.

Let's make believe sex has nothing to do with reproduction.

Let's make believe we're decent people.

Let's make believe we're not really killing a human fetus.

Let's make believe we're not actually its parents and haven't really just treated it like the waste product of his orgasm.

Let's make believe it's not the worst betrayal.

Let's laugh and make jokes, watch Gone With the Wind and make believe it's all OK.

Let's make believe that because I'm all cute and funny and goofy I must be a nice person.

Let's make believe disposing of the imperfect and the inconvenient isn't fascist.

I always had this image of women needing an abortion as being in need of help and sympathy not this couple of dicks. How and why do people watch this movie and see nice people? How?!
