Never Rarely Sometimes Always – 7

Planned Parenthood is the unsung hero of this wrenching story of 17-year-old Autumn Callahan, pregnant in Pennsylvania, who goes to New York City for an abortion. Sidney Flanigan plays Autumn as an awkward, affectless teen whose idea of conversation is “Whatever.” Her cousin who accompanies her has a bit more spirit, but there is a lot of quiet. Writer-director Eliza Hittman paints a picture so real, you feel it must be. Simple but bold, this movie touches a nerve.
