	Wesley Lovell (WL): French abortion drama doesn’t look that interesting. Peter J. Patrick (PP): Depressing account of abortion in 1960s France. Thomas LaTourette (TL): The critics love the film and it is very timely, but a not very interesting trailer does it little justice, and it is probably a film that should be seen.
