Self redemption from youth

As a literary film, it shows in great detail the coping decisions that minors will make when faced with problems.

Unplanned pregnancy is a surprise for any woman. Happy people have someone around who can face this sudden surprise together; unfortunate people have different performances in the face of shock.

What happens to minors that adults may not be able to handle accurately?

Ott wanted to hide it and wanted the child to leave silently, but in her hometown, abortion was not acceptable, so she came to New York, a big city that allows abortion, accompanied by her cousin Skylar. But things didn't go well. The doctors in her hometown concealed Ott's true pregnancy duration, which made her unable to perform the surgery immediately. At home, Skylar started dating a guy he had known for no more than three days. In the end, accompanied by a psychological guide, Ott completed the abortion operation, and he and his cousin safely got into the car for the return journey, and the movie came to an abrupt end.

In all the incidents, even when he punched her in the stomach, Ott did not have too much emotional leakage, only when the psychological guide asked her if she was forced to have sex and whether she had been abused. When questioned, she shed tears in the choice of never, rarely, sometimes, always, we can guess that in this relationship with the child's father, I don't even want to call it love, Ott is not happy.

One of the greatest charms of a literary film is that it will not tell you all the character stories related to the protagonist like a drama film, but completely stand in the character's sight and tell you what the character's mood is at this moment. expression, mental journey. Because it is an intercepted fragment, we need to rely on the character performance at this moment to infer the story of TA's past or future.

And this movie uses cruel reality to tell us the story of how young people redeem themselves.

    I have been watching popular commercial TV dramas these days, and suddenly I look back at this "niche literary film" and feel completely different. It is the second film of the American female director in her early 40s and won the Grand Jury Prize at this year's Berlin Festival. Simple and stable, but the content is still a little thin. Checking her resume, writing and directing her own films, her short film in 2011 received various compliments, she made her debut feature film in 2014, and after five or six years, she took out this film and won recognition. It's not easy for a typical independent filmmaker!

    Never expect, rarely resist, sometimes cry, always silent.
