Moving from the Impressionists through Jenny Saville to reach a most edible and inspiring destination. Read more

The issue of abortion has hardly ever been represented so honestly by a movie. Knocked Up and Juno gave the pro-choice movement a boost, and of those two, only Juno came close to confronting the issue.
