With its solid production values, Unplanned has all the appearances of being a real film, but viewers in favor of abortion rights will find it to be pure propaganda. Writer-directors Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon spend more time making their talking points than developing their characters, who exist merely to make their arguments. Read full review

Unplanned isn’t a good movie, but it’s effective propaganda — or, at least, it is if you belong to the group it’s targeting: those who believe that abortion in America, though a legal right, is really a crime. It’s hard to imagine the movie drawing many viewers outside that self-selected demographic. Read full review

Filmmakers Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon pound their points home like Madison Avenue vets, worried if they don’t use a ham for a cudgel, their audience might miss the point. Read full review

There’s not a single scene that speaks to characters with lives outside their streamlined narrative function; they’re performers in a parable traced over a Chick tract, filmed with a bland competence at odds with the true perversity of the material.

Unplanned will make you writhe in agony over how such an ugly, malicious and potentially dangerous piece of religious and political propaganda could have made its way into this world. Read full review

Movie that throws political correctness out the window. Excellent cinematography. The movie follows the true story of Abby Johnson and gives as true portrayal of what abortion is like.

Absolutely amazing movie! I thought that this would be a preachy, in your face shocking graphics kind of movie.
Instead, I was treated to a beautiful story about a woman's intimate relationship of the life vs choice controversy. This movie kept it so classy! Beautiful and powerful. AtAbsolutely amazing movie! I thought that this would be a preachy, in your face shocking graphics kind of movie.

Keeping this short because I don't like too delve to deeply into highlights or criticisms with these types of films, but I just have to mention that these critics have zero credibility.

The film is trying to tell the story of how someone changed their views on one of the most divisive issues in America, they did this more than adequately. The storytelling did seem genuine and the evidence is provided to support all the hypotheses. Let's just call it how it is, critics do not rate the quality of the movie, they are rating it based on the contradiction of their own views, it is absolutely abhorrent and they should not be taken seriously anymore. They did the same thing with Death of a Nation, keep your personal politics out of your writing, keep it objective, or let someone who can remain non-partisan do the writing for you.

Oh and a nice fun side note, I'd say my views sit in the middle, and I am most definitely pro-choice, but unlike these critics, I am capable of listening to the opposing sides views and having open discussions without hiding behind a blue checkmark or fake title like "Journalist" or "Film critic", and review bombing because of my political beliefs. Absolutely pathetic.… Expand

I'm not a religious person. The creators of this film are very brave in the current political climate. This film takes a rebellious stance that you are simply not allowed to hold these days. It tells a great story about a woman who challenges her most closely held beliefs when confrontedI'm not a religious person. The creators of this film are very brave in the current political climate. This film takes a rebellious stance that you are simply not allowed to hold these days. It tells a great story about a woman who challenges her most closely held beliefs when confronted with the reality of abortion, while making emotional and logical arguments against the practice. It's not very often I feel anything at all at a movie theatre, but this got my feels going.

Brooks Ryan's acting was so stale though that it almost took me out of the film altogether. It loses a point for that. Actually, they could have found better actors for most of the family members of Abby, so 2 points off. The rest of the cast were fine and believable. I would love to see more daring films that challenge the popular narrative we're fed on social issues such as climate change or men and women being different.… Expand

Low quality propaganda not deserving of being called a film. Laughable that it was made by two men who will never have to experience the choice of having an abortion
