A Thousand Little Cuts opens with a longish take of Anne jogging as a pop song plays in the background. Then, without warning, it switches to a brief clip of what seems to a sexual assault. And then we’re at the hospital where Anne is being asked if she’ll be all right.
As if that isn’t confusing enough instead of an answer we cut to Anne her job where her boss blows off for a meeting with her. She picks up her friend Kiara for a wine and bitch session only to walk in on her boyfriend Greg with another woman. Only then do we realize she’s talking to a psychiatrist Dr. Atlas.
If all of that sounds rather confusing, that’s because it is.

Dedicated to every woman who ever had an abortion and regretted it for the rest of her life, "Unplanned" is the new dramatic feature written, directed by Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon, based on a memoir by Abby Johnson, a former 'Planned Parenthood' employee, starring Ashley Bratcher, Brooks Ryan, Robia Scott, Jared Lotz and Emma Elle Roberts, now playing:
"...'Abby Johnson' one of the youngest 'Planned Parenthood' clinic directors in the Us, where baby body parts are routinely harvested, is asked to assist in an ultrasound-guided abortion at thirteen weeks gestation.
"After witnessing the gruesome procedure, Johnson becomes an anti-abortion activist and founds a group to assist former Planned Parenthood employees who turned against abortion after similar experiences..."

“Unplanned” isn’t a good movie, but it’s effective propaganda — or, at least, it is if you belong to the group it’s targeting: those who believe that abortion in America, though a legal right, is really a crime. It’s hard to imagine the movie drawing many viewers outside that self-selected demographic. “Unplanned” preaches to the pro-life choir, and it does so by making a case against abortion that’s absolutist and extreme, at certain points twisting “facts” into a narrative of conspiracy. (Planned Parenthood is portrayed as a corporation as profit-driven as Standard Oil.)
But “Unplanned” also does a skillful job of using religious piety to conceal its underlying political agenda. The film is based on a memoir by Abby Johnson, an anti-abortion activist who worked for eight years in a Planned Parenthood clinic in Bryan, Texas.
