How To Be A Person: How To Get An Abortion dives deep into the tangled emotions of a young woman, Sanam, facing a life-altering decision after a breakup. The film’s documentary style feels intimate, almost like you're eavesdropping on a private struggle. It captures that awkward blend of humor and despair, which is very real for many. The pacing is steady, allowing time for Sanam's anguish to settle in while exploring her cultural anxieties—especially around family expectations. It’s a raw look at reproductive rights, layered with personal narrative and societal pressure. The performances feel genuine, particularly in moments of vulnerability, making it stand out in a landscape often dominated by sensationalism around the topic.
