Call Jane[dt./OV] - Kritiken

...offer a studious examination of a past that could, terrifyingly, become our future.

Despite the songs, the cars, the hairstyles, "Call Jane" doesn't feel like a "period piece" at all.

...much of the medical history is detailed and fascinating, and under Nagy’s careful eye it’s a better-looking PSA than most.

Elizabeth Banks is an exhilarating heroine in this fascinating slice of modern history.

...a charming, big-hearted story of a fight for justice, and might just change a few minds along the way.

Zippy duologues, expertly teased beehives and stunning late ‘60s costumes may make this pro-choice message more palatable to the masses...

...an ordinary tale about extraordinary women.

Banks gives a commendable performance as a composite character...

Banks is asked to do a lot to portray Joy, tracking her through major changes in a minimum of time, and the actress delivers. With just a flick of her eyes or a certain kind of exhale, she sells Joy’s entire inner life.

Hur märkligt det än låter lyckas Phyllis Nagys hjärtevärmande om aktivister som kämpar för kvinnors aborträtt debut både roa och underhålla från början till slut.

Banks er fantastisk i hovedrollen som Joy og formidler troværdigt den konservative trofæhustrus forvandling fra lydig husmor til feministisk aktivist.

...en stillsam kampfilm som med stort patos hyllar abortaktivisterna i det sena amerikanska 60-talet...

...Weaver [stjæler] de fleste scener, men Elizabeth Banks skal også fremhæves for sin nuancerede portrættering af Joy.

Man er godt underholdt, mens man får et farverigt billede af verden i en brydningstid, som især ændrede kvindernes ret og rolle.

...en inblick i 60 år gammal historia som tyvärr känns mer nutida än den borde.
