Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
Somehow it all still works. Obvious Child is like one of those kid's paintings where the riot of irreconcilable elements is unified by the charm and madness of a skilled naivety.

Obvious Child is sweetness swaddled in a dirty joke.

Rating: B+ --
Obvious Child is one of the most empathy-inducing, genuine films featuring a cast of women tackling a women's issue ever made. Period.

The Reader (Omaha, NE)
It’s both funny and serious without trying too hard to be either, and by trying above all to be honest.
New York Times
Robespierre deserves credit for illustrating the realities of abortion with sensitivity and candour…
Sight and Sound
4 stars out of 5 -- Sharp, funny and feeling, this isn't just JUNO-meets-GIRLS but a smart film that tackles real-life issues with rare frankness.
Empire
Where Obvious Child succeeds is in letting women be funny, not in the faux-humor of humiliation that too many comedic actresses in movies are subjected to these days, but in actual laugh-out-loud funny lines and situations.

Product Description:
Adapted from Gillian Robespierre's own short film of the same name, OBVIOUS CHILD stars Jenny Slate as Donna Stern, an aspiring standup comic in her late twenties who regularly performs at a Brooklyn bar on open-mic nights when there's no cover charge. As the story opens, Donna gets dumped by her boyfriend (supposedly for talking about their relationship too much in her act) and loses her day job at a bookstore that's being evicted by the owner of the building. Not long after, during a night of epic drinking, she meets Max (Jake Lacy). The two hit it off and enjoy a drunken one-night stand, which Donna slinks away from in the morning. eeks later, Donna discovers she's pregnant. Knowing she's in no way ready to be a mother, she decides to have an abortion. She tries repeatedly to tell Max what is happening, but keeps chickening out -- in part because he's such a nice guy.
