Unpregnant (2020)
Rachel Lee Goldenberg’s Unpregnant puts a buddy-comedy spin on the premise, teenagers embarking on long trips to avoid unwanted pregnancies.
The estranged childhood pals Veronica (Haley Lu Richardson) and Bailey (Barbie Ferreira) hit the road to get the former an abortion.
The girls’ predicament, which is treated sensitively and matter-of-factly, stands as sobering acknowledgment of the challenges pregnant young people face today.
But there’s much more to the journey than just Veronica’s quest to get abortion. They experience along silliness, joy, and weirdness.
Unpregnant reminds us vividly and powerfully that, behind every procedure, there is a whole person and a whole life.
