Synopsis

During the final days of communism in Romania, two college roommates Otilia and Gabita are busy preparing for a night away.

Reviews

"Tense, kinetic, intelligent and real as if Paul Greengrass had remade Vera Drake."

   - Damon Wise, Empire

"One of the strongest movies in recent years."

   - Richard Corliss, Time

"This is a film with a commitment to reality unlike any we're used to seeing."

   - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

"Pitch perfect and brilliantly acted, 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days is a stunning achievement, helmed with a purity and honesty that captures not just the illegal abortion story at its core but the constant, unremarked negotiations necessary for survival in the final days of the Soviet bloc."

   - Jay Weissberg, Variety

"Though the frighteningly late-term abortion at its center hints at larger sins in the last gasp of Nicolae Ceausescu's iron-fisted regime, it's no metaphor, but a sordidly visceral transaction conducted in the next best thing to a back alley."

   - Ella Taylor, LA Weekly
