Critic Reviews for Abortion: Stories Women Tell

All Critics (14) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (14)

Ms. Tragos passes no overt judgment; the judgment lies in the juxtaposition of stories, and storytellers.

John Anderson
Wall Street Journal
Some stories are among the most resonant I've heard in a documentary this year.

August 12, 2016 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Brian Tallerico
RogerEbert.com
What Ms. Tragos succeeds in illustrating is that if you take away the signs and listen to the stories, there is little difference between women on opposite sides of the debate - at least in the region she covers.

Helen T. Verongos
New York Times
The personal and often raw testimony collected from about two dozen women spans the political divide over abortion, providing one of the most complex treatments of the issue.

J. R. Jones
Chicago Reader
The key to understanding why "Abortion: Stories Women Tell" is a quietly powerful documentary is not the first word in the title but the final three.

August 11, 2016 | Full Review…

Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times
Stories Women Tell does succeed at what it primarily means to do, which is to take abortion out of the realm of the theoretical and make it more personal.

August 11, 2016 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Noel Murray
AV Club
Told non-judgmentally, all the stories are, in their own way inspirational in their bravery or heart breaking in their reality; sometimes they are both.

Neely Swanson
Easy Reader (California)
Abortion: Stories Women Tell is not balanced 50/50, pro/con. Just like the issue of abortion, the documentary and the women embrace a wide range.

August 28, 2017 | Full Review…

Martha K. Baker
KDHX (St. Louis)
A documentary that honors the ethical complexities of the abortion issue through its presentation of the personal stories of women.

August 18, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Spirituality & Practice
Absorbing documentary on the erosion of abortion rights that leads to interrogation of how this could happen with a White House verbally committed to such rights.

It's not about merely being even-handed; it's about understanding a complicated issue while reminding viewers that no one, not least those choosing to have an abortion, take it lightly.
