Movie #2116 "Never Rarely Sometimes Always" (On Demand) -- I had to watch the opening a couple of times because I thought it was so slow at first, that I wasn't sure if it was worth my time --- by the end, I found it okay, but I'm not sure how many people will get through the whole film with very little going on, except for the viewers following a young girl as she: 1) finds out she is pregnant, 2) makes a decision to leave her home and get an abortion, 3) gets a friend to come with her, 4) their traveling from pennsylvania to New York, 5) the first clinic she goes to where she finds out she is farther pregnant than she was told , so then she has to stay over night and go to a second clinic, where the procedure is much more involved, 6) the questions that she has to answer that becomes the most moving scene in the whole movie (see title), and 7) the ending - going home...... experiencing big changes in her and her friend. That's the plot ---- it is done very plainly and starkly. I bet the script housing the dialogue is about 25 pages ---- very little said. But it shows great frankness on what one young 17 year old girl goes through to get an abortion. I'd give it 3.8 out of 5 ,and I don't recommend it to a lot of people. But it has a niche of people who might get a lot out of it by viewing it.
