MaryAnn’s quick take: An intense, intimate tale of historical illegal abortion, with a central performance of focused terror; a harrowing body horror that looms again. I cannot overstate the absolute urgency of this film.

[This review is also available at FlickFilosopher.com. Happening (L’événement) is in UK cinemas now. It is now playing in New York and Los Angeles, and expands across the US on May 13th.]
