O Acontecimento

Racked with emotional tension and visceral turmoil, it paints a painful portrait of how women have suffered—and will, sadly, continue to suffer—for the ability to make their own precious choices.

It’s hard to think of a film more necessary in the current moment.

...a visceral, confronting experience...

...plays its private trauma as a harrowing thriller, and showcases a superb performance from Anamaria Vartolomei as Anne Duchesne, the agonised student in the spotlight.

...an arresting, maddening yet always elegant feature about the taboo — yet widespread — procedure she underwent.

...cleverly structured and impeccably produced abortion drama.
