Take Your Birth Control

About This Movie

Take Your Birth Control (2017) is one of those films that quietly settles into your mind. It’s adapted from Anna Akana's letters, which adds a raw, personal touch. The pacing feels deliberate, almost reflective, as it navigates the complexities of growing up and the weight of unspoken words. You get this blend of drama and introspection that lingers. The performances, though perhaps not from well-known actors, carry a certain authenticity that feels refreshing. There’s a simplicity to the practical effects that emphasizes the emotional turmoil rather than distracts from it. Overall, it's a film that asks you to think—a lot—but does so with a gentle hand rather than an aggressive push.
