    Perkins: not a writer. This script is like George Lucas levels of not good. Reminiscent of Shyamalan’s obvious first draft efforts like The Happening. I thought midway through the film that he really just needed a good screenwriter, or at least script doctor.

    Summary: 8/10: an unflinching period piece that plays less like history than warning, a reminder that bans don't end abortions, they just decide who survives them. Some films arrive like an arrow already in flight: sharp, direct, impossible to deflect once it's found its mark. Audrey Diwan's Happening is one of these. Set in 1963 France, it is a powerful, well-made, emotional plea for a woman's control over her own body, and it lands with the force of something that should feel like ancient…

    Makes me think of “The Happening” and how stupid humans are about the life forms who share this planet. I liked the premise of the movie but had a hard time believing a chemical response so fine tuned would happen overnight. Maybe the increase in allergies to pollen is a test???

    "Anne" (Anamaria Vartolomei) is a young student studying to be a teacher, when she starts to feel stomach cramps. A visit to the doctor reveals that she is pregnant and the remainder of this drama relates to her decision not to have the baby. That's quite a stance to take in 1960s France where, much like in most of the rest of Europe, abortion is illegal, dangerous - and costly! It was an one-night-stand with "Max" (Julien Frison) that led to her condition, so she goes to visit him to see if he…
