Call Jane - Reviews

...offer a studious examination of a past that could, terrifyingly, become our future.

...en stillsam kampfilm som med stort patos hyllar abortaktivisterna i det sena amerikanska 60-talet...

Att av allt detta göra en film som drar mot komedi borde vara omöjligt, men Phyllis Law lyckas...

Hur märkligt det än låter lyckas Phyllis Nagys hjärtevärmande om aktivister som kämpar för kvinnors aborträtt debut både roa och underhålla från början till slut.

...vällovlig och välspelad påminnelse om en fruktansvärd tid...

...en inblick i 60 år gammal historia som tyvärr känns mer nutida än den borde.

Snyggt och underhållande har de sammanfattat det viktigaste, fått med stämningen, drivkraften, bevekelsegrunderna. Humorn.

Banks is asked to do a lot to portray Joy, tracking her through major changes in a minimum of time, and the actress delivers. With just a flick of her eyes or a certain kind of exhale, she sells Joy’s entire inner life.

...much of the medical history is detailed and fascinating, and under Nagy’s careful eye it’s a better-looking PSA than most.

...an ordinary tale about extraordinary women.

Banks gives a commendable performance as a composite character...

Despite the songs, the cars, the hairstyles, "Call Jane" doesn't feel like a "period piece" at all.

Elizabeth Banks is an exhilarating heroine in this fascinating slice of modern history.

...a charming, big-hearted story of a fight for justice, and might just change a few minds along the way.

Zippy duologues, expertly teased beehives and stunning late ‘60s costumes may make this pro-choice message more palatable to the masses...
