Obvious Child
Description
For aspiring comedian Donna Stern, everyday life as a female twenty-something provides ample material for her relatable brand of humor. On stage, Donna is unapologetically herself, joking about topics as intimate as her sex life and as crude as her day-old underwear. But when Donna winds up unexpectedly pregnant after a one-night stand, she is forced to face the uncomfortable realities of independent womanhood for the first time. Donna';s drunken hookup - and epic lapse in prophylactic judgment - turns out to be the beginning of an unplanned journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

It's a frank, funny and emotionally sophisticated story that quietly declines to fall in line with what is expected of young women on the big screen.

Hats off to any film that tries (and succeeds) at presenting challenging, off-putting characters from whose palms I'm reluctantly persuaded to eat.

What a funny film it is.
April 15, 2016
A frequently uneasy potluck of mixed emotional terrain, hit-and-miss jokes, and one transcendent performance that impressively, if messily, ties it all together.

A sensitive, bawdy delight.
January 05, 2015
Robespierre's direction of the many fine actors she assembled is assured, her sense of pacing nicely loose-limbed.

Slate is adept with biting remarks and self-deprecation, and she balances Donna somewhere between flightiness and innocence.
June 20, 2016
The humor in Obvious Child never trivializes its characters' feelings, but instead provides a balance and the ability to explore more nuanced emotional situations.

Despite a few too-cute moments, the movie is both smarter and more sympathetic than that glib shorthand.
June 21, 2016
The narrative goes in a direction that feels both familiar and surprisingly daring, and amongst some self-aware dialogue is a constant honesty with the situation at hand.

Sorry, partisans, but there's nothing obvious about "Obvious Child."
