Sidney Flanigan gives a wonderfully believable performance as Autumn.
While there's nothing particularly novel about this film -- a young woman gets pregnant and then faces the challenges of getting unpregnant -- I really warmed to it. You might expect a film like this to simply try to make you feel angry: either angry that Autumn should want to become unpregnant or angry at the obstacles put in her way by those opposed to her course of action. But this film has a stoicism and a gentleness to it; however challenging things become, Autumn and her friend Skylar stick together and see things through.
As well as a wonderful performance from Sidney Flanigan, Talia Ryder (Skylar) and Mia Dillon (Women's Centre Director) also gave remarkably nuanced and restrained performances.
BTW, Sidney Flanigan looks remarkably like the French musician Jehnny Beth (Camille Berthomier).
