Diane says: “Based on an autobiographical novel by this year’s Nobel prize winner, Annie Ernaux. And you thought 4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS was as harrowing an abortion movie as you’d ever see. Director Audrey Diwan hews close to Ernaux’s main message: for this young university student in the 1960s, pregnancy taken to term would condemn her to being a housewife. 4 cats, but I cannot actually recommend it because it is very painful to watch.”
