October Baby (2011)

I was fortunate to see October Baby with one of the "Stars" and can highly recommend it. While it embraces a hot button topic it is not heavy handed or preachy. One can draw ones own conclusions about the broad strokes and still see another point of view. I was surprised that the only overtly religious scene played out in a Catholic Church (which I view as a risk well taken taken by the directors) and give a big thumbs up to Jasmine Guy who's character beautifully related heart wrenching recollections of the day to day events in a clinic. Personally I am not on the anti-abortion band wagon, This said I believe that it a choice of last resort and if this film can prevent that choice by preclusion ( as illustrated in the film by the lack of physical relationships in the unmarried College student characters no matter how unrealistic) then job well done.
