1. • • French director Audrey Diwan’s sophomore film Happening, which won the Golden Lion at the 2021 Venice Film Festival, is a stinging reflection of society’s biases towards women. Adapted from an autobiographical book by Annie Ernaux, its plot isn’t new. But the tale is worth retelling in light of the recent debate over women’s reproductive rights.

   Is 'happening' a good movie?

   • HAPPENING gets quite explicit at times, but never feels in the least exploitative. The screenplay is also admirable in that it never preaches. Diwan follows her character on her own terms all the way through. It's a difficult movie, but a very worthy one. 14 out of 15 found this helpful. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote.

   Is happening a war movie?

   • Happening often has the air of a war movie, but if that makes the universe Diwan has created sound morally black and white, it isn’t. Anne can’t confide in her bar-owning mother Gabrielle (a magnificent Sandrine Bonnaire), presumably because her mother views abortion as a crime. Yet Gabrielle is never presented as weak or narrow-minded.

   Jul 31, 2022 · Based on the memoir by Annie Erma (“Les Années Super-8”), the film is a gripping and, at times, uncomfortable reminder of the inherent physical and emotional dangers of illegal, “back-alley” abortions, procedures that pose a danger to the unborn child as well as to the health of the mother.
