4 Months... in LA.

"The extraordinary Romanian film 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, more comfortably known as 'that abortion movie that won this year's Palme d'Or,' sheds its secrets slowly, a high-end realist drama quickening skillfully into a thriller," writes Ella Taylor in the LA Weekly.

"The reason 4 Months, which has a one-week run in Los Angeles to qualify for Oscar consideration, has such resonance is because it believes with fearless audacity in the power and possibility of the medium," writes Kenneth Turan in the Los Angeles Times. "Writer-director [Cristian] Mungiu has an almost old-fashioned faith that film can explore the most painful subjects, ask the deepest questions, deliver the most important meanings."

And Hugh Hart talks with Mingui.
