IndieWire Kate Erbland

Bolstered by winning, real performances from its leads, Unpregnant will delight as much as it stings, a sterling reminder of how many stories about this very subject are still demanding to be told. Read full review

Leah Greenblatt

Sep 10, 2020

Richardson and Ferreira have a sweet, sharp chemistry: one the type-A perfectionist trying desperately to keep it together, the other a hedonist in green fun fur whose outrageous exterior masks a deeper hurt. Read full review

The film's solid grounding in friendship and comic teamwork carries the day. Unpregnant becomes more affecting as it goes along thanks to the sincere, committed, and mostly unaffected lead performances by Richardson and Ferreira. Read full review

Its driving force may seem topical, but the story’s heart is timeless: the harmony between longtime friends, and Veronica and Bailey throw themselves into even the most fraught situations with giddy enthusiasm. Read full review

Mark Jenkins

Sep 8, 2020

Its few nutty ideas demonstrate how little distance Unpregnant manages to put between itself and a standard high-school comedy. Read full review

The Guardian Benjamin Lee

Sep 10, 2020

It’s an uneven ride, rocky in places, but it’s one that’s also unquestionably worthwhile, a progressive, witty and timely way of reminding many of us how antiquated women’s healthcare still is while also alerting a younger audience that there’s more to the teen movie than Netflix. Read full review

Ty Burr

Sep 24, 2020

The forced hijinks, sub-John Hughes emotional tropes, and Screenwriting 101 conventions — which include what can only be called Chekhov’s Taser — cut crassly against the grain of a subject that is fundamentally personal and inherently political. Read full review

This movie is obviously going to catch alot of heat from pro-life, right wing crack pot republicans but this was a very good movie with a very good message for women who are experiencing pregnancy. I loved the two leads here, who share excellent chemistry and Giancarlo Esposito was fantasticThis movie is obviously going to catch alot of heat from pro-life, right wing crack pot republicans but this was a very good movie with a very good message for women who are experiencing pregnancy. I loved the two leads here, who share excellent chemistry and Giancarlo Esposito was fantastic in the small role he had. I found this film to be very refreshing and original film that is very funny but offers up some heavy and even serious moments while balancing them nicely without overstuffing the narrative. I liked this movie alot and I highly recommend people catch this on HBO max… Expand

The movie has a lot of funny moments. The girls make the movie very interesting throughout their journey. It is beautiful to see how Veronica is supported by her true friend all along. Even though it is hard for her mom to accept, she ends up supporting her daughter, too.

Pro-abortion propaganda trash. This movie portrays abortion as a happy experience. But the truth is that you are murdering your baby!

Absolute trash and a twisted view of reality. A movie made to please social justice warriors, and it shows. Overall a bad movie and not worth your time

This film is supposed to be a comedy? This was an absolute tragedy of epic proportions. I am left with a sense that this was released to brainwash the masses into an ideology that is destructive. Not funny, no moral compass, utterly tragic.
