Abgetrieben is a raw and unsettling examination of a controversial topic, focusing on the trial of Dr. Horst Theissen, a gynecologist caught in a legal battle over illegal abortions. The film has an almost claustrophobic tone, capturing the tension and moral complexity surrounding the issue. The pacing feels deliberate, deliberately dragging you through the courtroom scenes, making you reflect on the heavy themes of choice, legality, and ethical dilemmas. The performances, though understated, convey a palpable sense of conflict and desperation, pulling you into the characters' lives without the need for flashy effects or dramatics. It’s not the usual TV movie fare – it’s gritty and thought-provoking in a way that stays with you.
