Never Rarely Sometimes Always

Eliza Hittman, UK, USA 2020, 101’
Under the Silver Lake Aftersun

A raw, suspenseful story about a few days in the life of Autumn, a teen from the Pennsylvania countryside who gets pregnant. The girl will have to make her way through a maze of soulless pro- cedures and face callous patriarchal surroundings.

‘Never Rarely Sometimes Always’: Eliza Hittman's teenage abortion drama is a quietly devastating gem. (Variety)
