Who should go see Unplanned? Bottom line: If you are an adult, you should go see it. If you have teenagers, you should probably take them to see it – child dependent. If you are considering taking tweens, possibly – child dependent again. Younger children – no way. If you are pro-choice, you should see this. If you are pro-life, you should see this.
Let me explain why…
Some Movies Shake You But Need To Do So
Other R rated movies similar to Unplanned like The Passion of Christ, Schindler’s List, and Saving Private Ryan are hard movies to watch because the show a reality that we often have ignored. In each of these, once you see them, they affect you. You are moved by them. Most of us hold a position on abortion. We have either a conviction or a preference.
What this movie demonstrates is the real suffering that goes along with abortion. You see suffering from the pregnant girl’s perspective, the baby’s, and the family’s. The decision to either have an abortion or not produces suffering for all that are involved. This movie makes that evident.

I went to a private viewing of this movie. To say I enjoyed it would be inaccurate. However, it is very much worth watching.
