Lake of Fire
"[Tony] Kaye has said he wants Lake of Fire to be the film on the issue of abortion - the one that both camps will watch and say, 'Okay, that's fair,' even if they still leave wanting to strangle the people on the other side," writes David Edelstein in New York. "Most of the interviews were done in the 90s, before the director, a voluble Englishman, made the skinhead drama American History X (and dynamited his Hollywood career by loudly denouncing the studio and the star, Edward Norton, for recutting the film). But the dialogue hasn't progressed much; the principal difference is that today, the Supreme Court is a lot closer to overturning Roe v Wade. That makes this sprawling, scary, nearly unbearable film more important than ever."
