Truth or Consequences

Between rounds at work today, I watched a movie called 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days. It tells the story of two college roommates in 1987 Communist Romania who arrange an illegal abortion. It was the most sobering film I've seen in a while. I appreciated that it put all politics aside and gave a bleak impression of the lengths to which people will go and the disturbing results. I recommend it, but not for the faint of heart. It's tough to watch, with layers upon layers of emotion and tense realism. It's well crafted, brilliantly acted, and totally unforgettable.
