Advance Screening! NEVER RARELY SOMETIMES ALWAYS, 2020, Focus Features, 95 min. Dir. Eliza Hittman. When 17-year-old Autumn (Sidney Flanigan) looks at herself in the mirror, she can see the signs of pregnancy beginning to manifest in her body. As a minor in rural Pennsylvania, she cannot obtain an abortion without parental consent. That leaves her to consider the age-old methods women have turned to when confronting unintended pregnancies. Though Autumn keeps mum about her dilemma, her distress is clear to her cousin and best friend Skylar (Talia Ryder), who sees her every day at school and at their part-time jobs as cashiers. With the address of a Brooklyn clinic in hand, the cousins board an early morning bus bound for New York City. But their trip takes an unexpected turn when Autumn learns that a one-visit procedure isn’t possible. As the cousins navigate two fraught days and nights in an unfamiliar and overwhelming city, their journey becomes one of profound solidarity, compassion and friendship. “At once dreamlike and ruthlessly naturalistic, steadily composed yet shot through with roiling currents of anxiety, NEVER RARELY SOMETIMES ALWAYS is a quietly devastating gem.” - Andrew Barker, Variety. Discussion following with director Eliza Hittman. This screening is free with RSVP.
