Directed by Cristian Mungiu2007 Drama
Rated R
*****
An unflinchingly realistic look at a college student (Anamaria Marinca) attempting to procure an abortion for her pregnant friend in Romania circa 1987, during the height of their communist dictatorship. Marinca gives a brilliant performance, and director Mungiu, a relative newcomer to the movie business, shows incredible adeptness in his direction. Not for the squeamish, but this is a near-perfect look at what lengths people will go to get an abortion in a society where they are illegal.
