Within just a few days, stand-up comedian Donna (27) manages to get rudely dumped by her boyfriend, lose her job and accidentally fall pregnant from a one-night stand. And all this shortly before Valentine’s Day. She decides to have an abortion, and then gets to know the father of her unborn child better. Women – foul-mouthed or well-spoken – who accidentally become pregnant have become a regular feature of film and TV drama since Knocked Up, Juno and the series Girls. However, these pregnancies generally end with a false alarm or the birth of a child. Abortion, a not uncommon event in reality, is still, it seems, too controversial. In this (secretly pretty romantic) tragicomedy, director and screenwriter Gillian Robespierre tackles the issue head-on with a great deal of humour – including candid revelations about vaginas and a good dose of toilet humour – as well as with a great cast. Jenny Slate in particular excels as the captivating Donna.
