If you're here looking up the movie for whatever reason you have, I think you should go on and watch it, really, even if maybe the reason you are here is to check that a movie about abortion is actually a thing now. tl;dr: Unpregnant is funny, inexplicably light (a good thing for sure just in a way that I didn't think possible.) and all the while casting light to one of the many paths taken, a path not many can take, for access to a procedure that should be accessible to all. But don't worry it's also about so much more... (Spoilers!) it's also a story of a revived friendship, about being there for a friend and having a friend there for you, it's about girl code, about how actually creepy a boyfriend/partner can be... really go and give Unpregnant a try. (down here my personal review. :) ) I am 21, I got the reproductive organs that lead to giving birth, and religiously raised...It's so weird that Unpregnant was released during a time in my life where I've been struggling so hard with everything I've been taught and everything that makes me. As a matter a fact, just two days ago I was able to finally let go of the guilt and pain of being pan and enby. (it's been so many years of pain and guilt, I can't tell you.) And among those struggles is accepting without guilt that I OWN my body, because I've known for some years now, but actually embracing that truth has been hard, so hard that for some time I thought that I would be there for someone who needed an abortion but not for myself; I would swear to continue on with a pregnancy if I ever got pregnant because I couldn't actually come to terms with that truth. And I just finished watching Umpregnant and I know that the movie itself is not like directly tied to these struggles of mine, but I still felt connected with Veronica. I felt so outraged when she began screaming about how f------ unfair it was for her travel so far because that's been, is, and unfortunately will be a situation where women/afab people will find themselves. And when Veronica was so scared that her mother would hate her and cried, idk how to put it in words but I can only say that my heart broke. Thank you to the cast and team for making Unpregnant, really thank you, I don't want to come off so over the top and I can't tell you how you helped me just that as I watched Veronica angry, crying, and finally sitting down at the doctor's, I was able to know that I get to get help at a clinic if I ever need to and that is totally okay. I didn't think I would have heard about Unpregnant if It hadn't been for Barbie Ferreira. (ty Barbie! <3)
