Unpregnant Reviews
Unpregnant still manages to accomplish a lot with its funny and affecting script bolstered by two formidable performances by Richardson and Ferriera. But it also illustrates why diversity in the abortion film genre is so urgent.

It manages to be light and playful, but also smart and pointed.

What follows is part road-trip comedy, part meditation on the trials of friendship. One segment even has the unhinged vibe of a John Waters farce.

The insouciant spirit fueling Unpregnant is admirable, in fact, and amply pumped up by Ferreira and Richardson's ebullient performances.

The film has a shaggy scene-by-scene charm that allows sequences to whiz by like ads for Burma Shave
| Original Score: B+ | Sep 11, 2020
A hybrid of film genres that coexist uneasily at first, but reconcile about halfway through, once the story gathers speed and emotional force.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 11, 2020
Veronica and Bailey deserve better. So do Richardson and Ferreira. So do the women of America. And so, dear reader, do you.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 11, 2020
A progressive, witty and timely way of reminding many of us how antiquated women's healthcare still is while also alerting a younger audience that there's more to the teen movie than Netflix.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 10, 2020
Richardson and Ferreira have a sweet, sharp chemistry: one the type-A perfectionist trying desperately to keep it together, the other a hedonist in green fun fur whose outrageous exterior masks a deeper hurt.
| Original Score: B | Sep 10, 2020
It's clear, in the best possible way, that these characters were adapted for the screen by women.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 10, 2020
Its driving force may seem topical, but the story's heart is timeless: the harmony between longtime friends...

A charming and heartfelt if uneven ride.

[It] finds humor in the struggle for reproductive rights. That's bound to upset people on both sides of the abortion debate, and it's what makes this clever entertainment radical, underneath its slick, amusing surface.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 9, 2020
Its few nutty ideas demonstrate how little distance Unpregnant manages to put between itself and a standard high-school comedy.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 8, 2020
Bolstered by winning, real performances from its leads, "Unpregnant" will delight as much as it stings, a sterling reminder of how many stories about this very subject are still demanding to be told.
