Desgrávida

I think booksmart is a film that created (or recreated) a new type of college and coming of age movies and this is the second film on this kinds of films. I liked it because in the 2010s the comedies really deteriorated and did not renew anything. Unpregnant and Booksmart are trying to bring some style and insights for the young and the general. I really liked in personally the idea to make it also a road film. It's amazing. Good script, great visuals.

I liked this small movie. Nothing too special here but hit all the right spots, again and again. Joyous movie that really relates.

Got kinda boring towards the last half, but still a great ride. Liked it a lot.

Girl gets pregnant and heads on a road trip to the place to get an abortion. Fun and learning life lessons ensue.

Loved Barbie Ferreira in this! Wish the movie was a little more realistic at some points, but overall it was a good time!

A 17 year old women gets pregnant accidentally and cannot tell anyone she knows. Her family are extremely Christian and her "best friends" are looking for drama in the school. She cannot ask for aid from anyone. She has no one. Then she discovers she cannot get an abortion in the state she lives in. That is reality for women that live in states like Missouri. That is what the film is conveying: these decisions are difficult, they require proper support to come to the best conclusion for the women. She is deprived from this and makes a decision to drive a 1,000 miles. Who would want that for there kid? A lot of reviewers are focusing on a "women getting an abortion is bad" and not thinking about what put her there to make that decision alone.

It was delightful and surprisingly had a couple of plot twists so it wasn't as predictable as what I thought it might be. It also highlights the misfortunes young women are faced when they are not provided with access to healthcare options and education surrounding pregnancy and parenthood. Great film!
