Drama As one of the youngest Planned Parenthood clinic directors in the nation, Abby Johnson was involved in upwards of 22,000 abortions and counseled countless women on their reproductive choices. Her passion surrounding a woman's right to choose led her to become a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood, fighting to enact legislation for the cause she so deeply believed in. Until the day she saw something that changed everything.

	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"There’s nothing in here about the hardship restricting women from their own constitutionally protected reproductive health (...) Only shaming women for 'killing babies for convenience'. (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"[It] isn't good drama but it's effective propaganda (...) It does so by making a case against abortion that’s absolutist and extreme, at certain points twisting 'facts' into a narrative of conspiracy."	NEG
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"One wonders why 'Unplanned', which resembles a basic cable television movie in its mediocre production values and subpar performances, was made."	NEG
United States	Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times	"Viewers in favor of abortion rights will find it to be pure propaganda (...) [The writer-directors] spend more time making their talking points than developing their characters"	NEG
United States	Vadim Rizov AV Club	"'Unplanned' is an abortion about abortion (...) There’s not a single scene that speaks to characters with lives outside their streamlined narrative function"	NEG
United States	Luke Y. Thompson Forbes	"This movie was not made for me (...) The story seems unsure about where to end"	NEG
