So, 'Abortion' from 2012 is one of those films that, well, you feel it in your gut. The atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, which really reflects the protagonist's plight. It dives into the grim realities of child marriage and poverty in Iran – not exactly light viewing. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to sit with the discomfort of the situation. The performances are raw and haunting, especially the lead, who embodies the fragility and resilience of youth. There’s a stark realism, and I’d say the practical effects, though minimal, really punctuate the desperation of her circumstances. It’s not your typical narrative; it’s more about the emotional weight and social commentary than conventional storytelling.
