About This Movie
Lesser Choices offers a raw, almost tactile experience through its Super 8 footage that feels like peering into someone’s memory bank. The home-movie quality lends a personal touch, almost like a diary entry brought to life. What really stands out is the voiceover; it's the filmmaker’s mother recounting a harrowing story of illegal abortion in the 1960s Mexico City, which creates this heavy, intimate atmosphere. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the weight of her words to settle. There’s a distinct blend of nostalgia and discomfort, making you reflect on the choices women faced then and now. It’s not just a documentary; it’s a haunting exploration of memory and trauma stitched together with a very personal thread.
