24 Weeks (2016). 1h 43m

“James Woodall wrote: u0026quot;Julia Jentsch, another on-screen and on-stage favourite in Germany, is a celebrity stand-up comedian who finds out, some 20 weeks in, that her second child will have Downu0026#39;s syndrome and holes in his heart. Bluntly, to abort or not to abort is the dilemma at the filmu0026#39;s heart — and this might touch, though not overtly, on historical memory of Nazi policy towards the handicapped. That is not what the film is about, but, giving nothing away, it grips like nothing else Iu0026#39;ve seen in German cinema in the past decade. Tough, searing stuff indeed.u0026quot; (u0026#39;What is a serious film festival doing opening with Hail, Caesar!u0026#39;, The Spectator, 20/2/16).”
