Roe v. Wade

The conflicts and behind the scenes maneuvers have been memory holed. This movie lays out what really happened in this case. No matter where you stand on the issue, information is power.

This movie is history re-writing. But, if you take the time to source the real facts before you watch it, then it becomes incredibly funny! It's like a beginners course in propaganda, so heavy handed, massively manipulative, degree zero of finesse, that it actually made me laugh out loud a couple of times. No attempt here to even pretend not to be one sided. Everybody is stereotyped to the max, and history is re-scripted with utter disregard for actual events. It even goes as far as to reference the holocaust in the dialogs to define the pro-choice side, and that is only one of the multiple antisemitic gratuitous jabs in this movie. Here is one example of how the movie works: it is bookended by two reasonably effective, even if cheap, emotional moments: the dreadfully moving rendition of "the diary of an unborn child" and the "who will give voice to the silenced" supreme court plea, two really strong speeches of the pro-life side. Well, obviously the voice of the pro choice will be shown with similar respect... of course not, in between the voice of the pro-choice is a chant praising abortion as money for succion, and an overall scam orchestrated to make money off the ignorance of women. This gives you a sense of how balanced the view of the issue is. The justice who supported pro choice are obviously shown as corrupt throughout the film, and decide on politics rather than merit or conviction. Or worse, if they're not corrupt, they vote pro choice for being badgered by their wives and daughters, And of course the pro-choice characters evidenced during the movie end up in one of three ways: Either their « despicable hypocrisy » is outed, either they see the error of their ways and find god, or they sink in despair and eternal grief over the « horrible acts they are guilty off »! Aaaah the suavity of the nuance. Well if you hoped for a movie that could be watched by many on both sides, a movie to open and inform the debate, that's not the one.

Look no one will convert you or change your mind on a polarizing topic through a movie. I guarantee this movie made snowflakes melt, leftists cringe, centrists do a double take all while right wingers did a happy dance. Is the movie 100% factually correct... no. But does the movie capture the moment, the history, and the outcome... yes. You may not like the subject matter but in the middle of a pandemic it is a miracle that we get to enjoy any movie not shot on a cell phone. I liked the movie overall and my opinion was not swayed because for anyone from the left or right made me. This movie transcends political barriers and allows you to ake personal choices.

The perspective of a notorious abortionist about how abortion became legal should shock everyone. The movie reveals how lies, power and greed played such a huge role in the legalization of the killing of unborn babies.

One of the few movies that lean the more conservative view of the controversial subject. Out of the sea of overwhelmingly liberal leaning flicks, this is one adds the conservative voice. You may not agree with it, which I mostly do not, we as Americans should welcome a counter view...

Terrible acting, poor production values and a very biased POV. I'll the NYT sum it up for you: "Roe v. Wade" paints pro-life rights activists as "the masterminds of a mercenary anti-Catholic conspiracy. They were in cahoots, we're told, with Hollywood, the news media, Protestant clergy and rabbis, with the latter singled out in a caricaturish scene." What else you need to know?

When the man who's terrorized his ex girlfriend for years to force her to use their embryos against her will so he can control her for life is in it, you know it's garbage. Biased, untrue, terrible acting (worse than a school psa) and just complete waste of film...and that was the first 10 mins.

Hundreds of millions of innocent lives have been destroyed because of this court decision. The whole story has never been told before. Acting is superb. I screened this film last year and found it to be heartbreaking and enlightening. The court case was pushed by Planned Parenthood and NARAL for their own corporate profits.
