My review · Reviewed 07/03/2020

This is a film about a girl that gets pregnant at 17. No mention is made of who the father is and obviously this is done intentionally. This film is unique in that it goes through a day (rather, a few days) in the life of a girl that just found out that she is pregnant. There isn't a lot of conversation about what is going on and we don't get a lot of information about what the girl is thinking outside of the expressions on her face. While there is a resolution (I hate saying it like that) the film ends in the same kind of cold way in which it began.
