4 luni, 3 saptamâni si 2 zile (2007) aka "4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days"

Janck: Mitch and I were chatting the other day about how when watching some films you are already mentally preparing a review before the credits roll.. this is one film not to be taken so lightly. As a viewer you are invited into the (very) personal lives of two students Otilia and Gabita, over the course of just one day in Communist Romania, whilst they arrange and participate in a dangerous and illegal abortion. Similar in tone to Lilja 4-ever, however I feel 4 Months.. is a finer accomplishment.
4.5 stars

Mitch: Hard-hitting, emotive drama. The unforgiving camerawork places the viewer in the heart of this powerful story. Bleak and desaturated, this remains an important piece of cinema.
4 stars
