I watched If These Walls Could Talk II (which is much more accessible here in the Netherlands) before this one, but I must say I'm not too impressed with either of them.
This one picks up the issue of abortion, telling three tales in three different periods. In the first, a woman is pregnant by her dead husbands brother. In the second, a mother of 4 who is finally ready to live for herself finds herself pregnant yet again. And in the third, a young woman is pregnant by her professor.
The movie is showing us how abortion laws and ideas about it change over the years. Some scenes were hard to watch (in particular in segment no 1) and one of the movie's conclusion is that it's best that women have the ability to have an abortion in a clean and safe envirement.
Although I agree with that, I still have major problems with the concept of abortion. I feel it's often an easy way out for people who should've known better (I'm aware of the many exceptions). But never mind that, I should value the movie for what it is.
And it just ain't that good, I'm afraid. 5/10.
