Romina

About This Movie

Romina is an interesting blend of animation and a serious real-world issue. It dives deep into the life of a 14-year-old girl navigating the tough waters of an unplanned pregnancy in a state where abortion is outright banned. The tone is heavy yet there’s a sense of community and support that feels quite genuine, almost heartwarming in a way. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing viewers to really sit with the character’s struggles. I found the animation style to be quite distinctive, lending a unique atmosphere that complements the emotional weight of the narrative. It’s not your usual animation fare, and the performances—though animated—carry a raw, authentic emotional depth that’s hard to ignore. Definitely a conversation starter.
