NYFF Review: 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days

The winner of this year's Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Cristian Mungiu's devastating drama 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days tells the story of a young woman who helps her friend obtain an illegal abortion in 1980s Romania. It's a riveting, wrenching, horrifying and beautifully told story. Read Marcy's review. 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days screens today at the New York Film Festival. IFC Films will release the film in the U.S.
