A new film from Lonely Reviewer friends Anna Bean and Gillian Robespierre has just debuted on-line and we wanted to let you know ’cause it’s really good. It stars Jenny Slate. (You may have seen her debut last week on ‘Saturday Night Live.’) It’s a touching comedy about abortion and relationships. I know the phrase ‘comedy about abortion’ doesn’t come up all that often, but it really is funny. (And it’s also really sweet.)
“Obvious Child” has just been accepted into the Big Apple Film Festival in November and I have no doubt you’ll see it at other fests this winter. Yeah, it’s that good. Check it out below:
