What the critics say

Critics say Anna Ben's performance anchors this feel-good drama about a woman's right to stay child-free, praising its honest, non-judgemental take on abortion and motherhood, though several fault thin, lazy writing and underdeveloped supporting characters.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 9 readings; 5 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
