RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzSep 10, 2020
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

Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattSep 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

IndieWireKate ErblandSep 8, 2020
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

VarietyAmy NicholsonSep 11, 2020
It’s as comforting as a prescription drug commercial, which could send some parents into a conniption. But Unpregnant advocates loudest for allowing young women the space to make their own choices — and that they have friends, longtime or newfound, willing to help when they stumble. Read full review

The GuardianBenjamin LeeSep 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

Unpregnant delivers a fun and entertaining road trip comedy about female friendship and abortion, with compelling performances from its two leads. Read full review

Boston GlobeTy BurrSep 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
