A caption for this film in
Filmink magazine said "Abortion rocks!" -which is entirely fair, for this is one of a swathe of recent pro-
choice films. Imelda
Staunton is perfect in the title role though you do
get tired during the last half hour when she cries the whole time. The
story sort of
mosies along - she does abortions, gets busted. Some
excellent acting, particularly from the husband and the son, and some
seemingly spot-on period detail. The rich characters cop it, as usual (the wife
of the husband's brother is a particular caricature) and somehow it
seems to lack something.
