The movie's title is a very innovative one, I knew this movie was going to be about abortion but that title didn't make sense to me until the middle of the movie and the scene was really raw and powerful. These are the kind of movies only a woman could make, its tough for a man to understand the bond between two women, the oppression they face from a patriarchal society and the ugly entitlement men feel over their bodies. Eliza Hitman wasn't interested to preach to the audience, she wisely ignores it and rather chooses to hit the raw nerves of anti-choice men and misogynists. Autumn (Sidney Flanigan) is shamed at the start of the film, discouraged to abort her one child, her own state doesn't allow her to make her own decisions on her body, her employer doesn't allow her to take a break when she is unwell, helplessly watches her cousin get preyed by predatory men and also faces cash shortage but in-spite of all this she bravely aborts her fetus with the help of her cousin Skylar (Talia Ryder). Though Autumn is the protagonist of the film, we all would relate more so with Skylar. She sticks by her cousin no matter what and even undergoes great sacrifices to help her. This movie is a must watch by all and a great reflection of a male dominated society.

Independent films that premiere at festivals, get picked up by a pretty recognizable distribution company, and eventually either released in theatres, or in this case, at home, rarely get seen by a large audience, due to the small nature of the movie. Without large marketing campaigns, films like Never Rarely Sometimes Always are likely to fall by the wayside. With that said, it's also very much a case of whether or not you're willing to watch a film with tough subject matter. I always highly recommend viewers seek out hidden gems because you will often find something great that nobody has been talking about. Due to the premise of this movie though, I find it extremely difficult to tell you to watch it and here's why. After 17-year-old Autumn finds out she's unintentionally pregnant, she ventures off to New York City with the company of her cousin. Her plan is to find a clinic that will allow her to terminate the pregnancy, which becomes quite a stressful life-threatening trip for her. Off the top, I'll just state that if this premise will never be able to hold your attention, I'll save you from this movie in saying that it really does waiver from that synopsis. When I watch a movie, I choose to put myself in the shoes of the person involved, even if that means stretching my beliefs a little. In regards to that, this movie is absolutely fantastic. From the dirty, grainy look to the entire film to the incredibly raw performances by both Sidney Flanigan and Talia Ryder, this film had all the makings of what people in the film industry consider a "festival darling." Not only did this film feel authentic from start to finish, but can also work as a lesson to those who are faced with a similar situation. While I found myself fundamentally disagreeing with every single decision every character made throughout the course of this movie, I also felt for them. Autumn was faced with impossible circumstances between this and her home life and made you beg the question of what the right decision truly was. Written and directed by Eliza Hittman, Never Rarely Sometimes Always has proven to me that she is a director worth following. The performances she was able to get out of every actor/actress involved were amazing to me. I believe it was due to her realistic screenplay and caring direction that such an authentic film came from her. She is definitely someone I will seek out in the future. While it is some very tough subject matter to handle, I believe she did a great job, even if it will be a devastating watch for many viewers. In the end, Never Rarely Sometimes Always is not a film for everyone. Some viewers will despise it, some, like myself, will be able to look at the story itself and find a fantastically done film, and other may be able to relate to it on a personal level. This is the type of movie that will hit viewers in many different ways. On top of that, it has a very slow and quiet feel to it, so some viewers may also find it slightly boring. For me, it was kind of the perfect storm of being hard to watch, but also impeccably made. Again, it's very hard to recommend this one, but if you're willing, it's pretty great.

I believe this was worth watching, but I wouldn't call it great. Personally I found this film too slow and boring. It took too long to tell it's very simple story. I do however like that it makes you think. Does it make you think? Every Doctor visit that I've had was slow, invasive, and boring, so this story is realistic in that aspect. Of course it's sad. People dealing with medical issues are often sad. Abortion is definitely sad. Even if you believe that women should be able to do what they want with their bodies, without a bunch of jerks pushing them around, it's still sad. As a film does it tell a story well? Is it well written and acted? This is what should be reviewed! Not whether you approve of the characters' actions and decisions. Go preach somewhere else.

This film start with a girl "Autumn" performing at a talent show on stage, and she went to a medical center to check for her pregnancy scene! As turnout, this film is about Autumn assist by her cousin "Skylar" to perform an abortion surgery at New York city! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the performing treatment on stomach scene, overuse of the pulling suitcase scene, overuse of the check-in scene, overuse of the buying ticket at kiosk scene, overuse of the singing scene, and overuse of the riding train scene! Make the film unwatchable! Barely laughable scene is, Skylar drop the bowling ball while she trying to throw the bowling ball! At the end, after perform the abortion surgery, Autumn travel back home with a bus! That's it! Wasting time to watch!
