I saw the movie premiere at the Venice Film Festival (it won the first prize and best actress).
The thing that really makes it different from other movies i saw about "ethical" themes, is that it DOESN'T try to lecture you about an ethical problem, but it portrays a character who has made a difficult and controversial choice and faces the consequences of it. No philosophical dialogues, no heroical lawyers trying to save a victim of society.
I thought it was great, but i guess that's because i am pro-choice ;-)
Oh, and Mike Leigh is a very nice fella.
Oops, got the link wrong.
