Unflinching


4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days is a slowly paced Romanian film about a roommate trying to help her friend obtain an abortion. Don't let it's slowness frighten you though - the pacing is perfect for the subject matter. And while at times I found myself wanting to shake Gabita, I did really appreciate this film ("enjoy" is not a word you can use here.) It honestly and unflinchingly tells it's tale without melodrama and with perfectly done filming. I give this a 7.
