Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Stuart Provan A one star review to give on something you don't agree on. "Children with disabilities should be given the chance and the support at life, let them have a voice " yes but lets not give a voice to adults who get incurable diseases and are made to suffer cause they sometimes have a voice THEY wish to die? Always remember Tiller who was a good person and did help a lot of people but he's DEAD now am sure his family are OK with it now. Still one star for a church murder in cold bold. Westeire?Wow some people not once you mention a nut job killed a guy with religion backing up his story again.

Sindre Kaspersen American producers and documentary directors Lana Wilson and Martha Shane's individually debut and second documentary feature which they co-wrote with film editor and director Greg O'Toole, was conceived after Lana Wilson had watched a news coverage in 2009 concerning an American late term abortion care provider and Lutheran named George R. Tiller and the anti-abortion movement in the United States. It premiered in the U.S. Documentary Competition section at the 29th Sundance Film Festival in 2013, was shot on locations in USA and is an American production which was produced by Lana Wilson and Martha Shane. It tells the story about four educated and trained professional physicians named LeRoy Carhart, Susan Robinson, Shelley Sella and Warren Hern who openly works and performs third-trimester abortions which are often done at the stage in the gravidity when the once biological cell called zygote is potentially able to live outside the woman's uterus, at legitimate abortion clinics in the American states of Maryland, New Mexico and Colorado. Distinctly and subtly directed by independent filmmakers Lana Wilson and Martha Shane, this quietly paced and non-fictional documentary which is narrated from multiple viewpoints, draws a reasonable, humane and informative portrayal of two men and two women who despite decades of consistent persecution by people who are against their practice of legal medical abortions, assists, protects and respects the rights of women to make their own decisions based on their own evaluations and carry out the surgical treatment they ask for if the surgery doesn't endanger their reproductive health or their lives. While notable for its real milieu depictions, reverent cinematography by cinematographers Hillary Spera and Emily Topper and use of sound, this dialog-driven and narrative-driven true story about a critical medical service within the public health sector which was legalized in the U.S. in 1973 by the U.S. supreme court, potential life, alleviation of suffering, human interest before state interest, a woman educated pro-choice physician who continued his fathers' work in the early 1970s, the people whom he inspired and how they work with their patients and regard their profession, the history of anti-abortion crimes, and the variegated and far from casual reasons as to why someone goes through with these specific types of abortion which are distinguishable from miscarriage and first-trimester, second-trimester, self-induced, forced, sex-selective and illegal abortion, contains numerous interesting and heartrending interviews and a timely score by composers Andy Cabic and Eric D. Johnson. This constructively conversational, densely observed and relevant feature-length documentary which is set in the United States of America in the early 21st century and where women from various age groups, situations and religious or non-religious upbringing who are twenty-nine weeks and longer into their pregnancy are provided with an opportunity to tell their stories without having to justify themselves to anyone, is impelled and reinforced by its cogent narrative structure, subtle continuity, substantial depictions of the real-life situations of the doctors, distanced look at some of the protesters and by choosing to remain close to the main subjects who are vital to the understanding of the central theme and emphasizing theirs, the nurses, the counsellors and the patients' viewpoints instead of constructing a more fragmented narrative with the archival footage which is commendably used to enlighten rather than to inflame. An accomplished approach to a historic theme which is exemplified when a polarized sixteen-year-old Roman Catholic girl navigates it into the center of humanity.

Turfseer 'After Tiller' takes its name from Dr. George Tiller, the pioneering physician who conducted third trimester abortions, and was murdered by an anti-abortion zealot in Wichita, Kansas in 2009. The documentary chronicles the four doctors who trained under him and now are the only physicians in the world who conduct this complicated procedure.The documentary begins chillingly with a 911 call from the scene (Dr. Tiller's church), where he was murdered. We then begin to meet the four physicians, all of whom to this day, face death threats. One of the physicians, Dr. LeRoy Carhart, defiantly informs us that he won't give into "terrorists." We see him ending up moving his clinic from Nebraska to Maryland after Nebraska passed a law that abortions could not be conducted after 20 weeks of pregnancy.Drs. Susan Robinson and Shelley Sella alternate at a clinic in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Robinson makes it clear that she won't and can't accept every case. Everything is done on a case by case basis; sometimes, a woman is too far along in the pregnancy or there isn't a compelling enough reason to say yes. Sella is circumspect: she admits that she's not aborting a 'fetus' but actually a baby, that is stillborn, and she struggles with that idea.Dr. Warren Hern practices out of Boulder, Colorado. The documentary highlights how his decision to do this kind of work, had for a long time left him lonely and taken a personal toll on his psyche. The continuing threats against him led to the breakup with his first wife and it was only much more recently, that he met another woman and got married.The value in 'After Tiller' is that it shows that there are very good reasons why late abortions are necessary. The most compelling reason revolves around women who find that their babies, due to fetal abnormalities, will be born with severe birth defects or only live for a short while, in great pain. There is also the case of women who are raped. It's quite understandable why women in this situation, would not want to give birth. During the film, women are interviewed (their faces are not shown), who find themselves in these harrowing positions.There are also cases where teenagers get pregnant and are unaware (or are in denial) about the pregnancy. They simply are not emotionally prepared to give birth or raise a child. Before any of the doctors agree to the abortion, they carefully make sure if this is what their patients want. They don't browbeat them into anything as pro-lifers have suggested.One can only feel contempt for a great majority of the anti-abortion zealots who are constantly harassing these professional practitioners. After all, women have the right to do what they want with their own bodies, especially when they're faced with the excruciating reality of raising an extremely handicapped child. Don't expect the anti-abortion crowd, these holier than thou hypocrites, to volunteer to raise severely handicapped children themselves for the rest of the child's life (some of whom grow to adulthood unable to speak or walk). The same goes for rape victims. And what of teenagers who aren't ready to have a baby? Is it right to insist that a teenager who is merely a child, to give birth, and then is unable to raise the child properly? Imagine the consequences to that child when they're either neglected, abused or even abandoned. All because a fanatical group insists on an abstract concept called the 'sanctity of life' without examining the reality of a woman's situation. Ultimately it is the lack of flexibility that drives the anti-abortion crowd. They're not interested in what's going on with women who are simply not in a position (or ready) to give birth. They expect everyone else to make extreme sacrifices but when push comes to shove, they would not make those sacrifices themselves. 'After Tiller' boldly does an excellent job, highlighting the professional job the four doctors do in conducting late trimester abortions. The more people see this film, they will have an understanding why in many cases, the late trimester abortion is a necessity, instrumental in saving women, from a future life of dread, that they have no desire to experience.

Westeire Even my friends pro-choice don't agree with this movie. Its actually hard for me to review this movie focusing just on this movie. It was shown in Ireland this week. The documentary-movie tries to bends peoples opinions that late term abortions are necessary. I see nothing noble about this movie, Children with disabilities should be given the chance and the support at life, let them have a voice, they are our children. Maybe we would be surprised at value of there contribution to life. I went to see the movie because one of the abortionists was speaking on Irish radio. Its impossible to come to terms how these procedures could be carried out. I suppose had they actually shown a late term abortion on the documentary people might have seen it for what it is. It really is sadly taking the life of a viable child. We can dress it up with music and soft words and spin it with this movie, but it is what it is. Sorry of this review seems very political or even extreme, I just felt very very uncomfortable with this documentary. We need to stand up for the reality before us, late term abortion is pretty horrific, euthanasia of the child because we think they would be better off out of the way. Sorry to IMDb for this review, but since the movie is posted here for review then I give mine,
