Synopsis …
Written and directed by Eliza Hittman, the film is an intimate portrayal of two teenage girls in rural Pennsylvania. Faced with an unintended pregnancy and a lack of local support, Autumn (Sidney Flanigan) ad her cousin Skylar (Talia Ryder) embark across state lines to New York City on a fraught journey of friendship, bravery, compassion with empathy and outrage that cut equally deeply
The abortion debate that divides the United States is characterized by the director trying to bring his film under the roof for 6-7 years. Eventually, the support of the BBC, which rarely produces American productions, and the Oscar for Barry Jenkins, who works here as a producer, needed the film to be shot at all. Never Rarely Sometimes Always won a Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival and returned home from Sundance with a special prize for neorealisms.
