After she won the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival last month, writer/director Eliza Hittman's `Never Rarely Sometimes Always` finally comes to U.S. theaters on March 13.
The abortion drama first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January, where it won the bespoke U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for Neorealism - which this realistic movie is in spades. The final trailer for the film has arrived, courtesy of Focus Features. Watch below.
Playing out almost like a road movie, the film is an intimate portrayal of two teenage girls in rural Pennsylvania. Faced with an unintended pregnancy and a lack of local support - including a local clinic that all but traumatizes her with anti-abortion scare tactics - Autumn (Sidney Flanigan) and her cousin Skylar (Talia Ryder) embark across state lines to New York City on a fraught journey.
Complications arise that force Autumn and Skylar to stay longer in the city than intended, and without a place to crash. In its depiction of young women fighting against bureaucracy and toxic men, `Never Rarely Sometimes Always` hits hard.
