Highly Overrated But Still Good

A Major Disappointment

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

A one star review to give on something you don't agree on. "Children with disabilities should be given the chance and the support at life, let them have a voice " yes but lets not give a voice to adults who get incurable diseases and are made to suffer cause they sometimes have a voice THEY wish to die? Always remember Tiller who was a good person and did help a lot of people but he's DEAD now am sure his family are OK with it now. Still one star for a church murder in cold bold. Westeire?Wow some people not once you mention a nut job killed a guy with religion backing up his story again.

First and foremost: Don't confuse a review of this film with a review of the practices involved. (I've seen at least one negative review of this film that was clearly by someone who had not seen the film, but wished only to voice an opinion about the general subject matter).See this film. Pro-choice, pro-life, undecided? Doesn't matter. See this film. It will only help you to better the subject.This film is the best documentary I've seen. I don't mean just because the content is amazing, of course, but the quality of the portrayal is also almost shockingly good. A number of the filming techniques did an *extremely* effective job of letting us see insides the minds and hearts of both doctors *and* patients.In a topic as emotionally charged as what this film covers, it's easy to get caught up in the subject as "abstract." This film helps us to see the real impact and effects these people - and practices - have. It's not always pretty, and it can be very difficult to watch, but I feel significantly more connected to the whole subject now.Yes, the film leans in some ways toward "pro-choice," but it in fact makes some very clear points about just how difficult that choice is. I won't spoil it, but the most intense moment of the film for me happened right there. And the film doesn't vilify the pro-life people - they're ever-present, as in real life, but they are portrayed honestly as well. It's clear they are as passionate as the doctors.This is just, overall, a very brutally honest film.I had the good fortune to see this in a small theater, and one of the directors did a video-chat with the theater as a Q & A. That was a nice touch, but my 10/10 review was cinched the moment the film ended.

Even my friends pro-choice don't agree with this movie. Its actually hard for me to review this movie focusing just on this movie. It was shown in Ireland this week. The documentary-movie tries to bends peoples opinions that late term abortions are necessary. I see nothing noble about this movie, Children with disabilities should be given the chance and the support at life, let them have a voice, they are our children. Maybe we would be surprised at value of there contribution to life. I went to see the movie because one of the abortionists was speaking on Irish radio. Its impossible to come to terms how these procedures could be carried out. I suppose had they actually shown a late term abortion on the documentary people might have seen it for what it is. It really is sadly taking the life of a viable child. We can dress it up with music and soft words and spin it with this movie, but it is what it is. Sorry of this review seems very political or even extreme, I just felt very very uncomfortable with this documentary. We need to stand up for the reality before us, late term abortion is pretty horrific, euthanasia of the child because we think they would be better off out of the way. Sorry to IMDb for this review, but since the movie is posted here for review then I give mine,

Having read about this very interesting documentary, I'll put a stone for it.I think it must take a lot of courage, especially in the USA, to make and practiceanything that is not mostly well admitted/appreciated by the people or the law ofthe different states legalization, especially anything that helps freedomof personal decision or freedom of thinking.The reasons come from the fact that in USA, a lot of people who are "free thinkers"have unfortunately a big chance to fall under the bullet of any madman, orany big power/industry/political leaders rented shot man,whom they are against or interfering their "easy business".It comes also because to get any lethal weapon is just as easy as to buy bread !USA is a democracy, that is correct, yes, but in many ways it's like it is not !The pressure of television, churches and big lobbies is so strong, that inpractice it almost annihilates the democratic system, many times, by the sideway...The democracy, obviously in itself is not the problem, but what it let allow,I mean put a blame on a big spot, because it makes sell news !Political opponents and free thinkers are killed anywhere on this planet, that'strue too, but for a democracy as is USA supposed to be, something goes wrong !Apart that, my rating goes to the freedom of thinking,because I yet didn't see the documentary.I rated it, because quoting Martin Niemöller poem :"When the Nazis came for the communists, I did not say anything, I was not a Communist.When they imprisoned socialists I did not say anything, I was not a socialist.When they came for the trade unionists, I did not say anything, I was not a trade unionist.When they came for me there was no one left to protest."is the only way I can express my concerns about Freedom !Therefore > courageous doctors and courageous directors :-)
