I find it sadly funny that the NY Sun reviewer seemed at one poin to home in on Bella's single look at the crisis of "choice" Nina faces. Yes, she considers abortion, but the rest of the movie she is exposed to other alternatives. It really is a shame that the "choice" has come to mean that a woman's only "choice" is abortion and any other discussion about other "choices" are drowned out by inferences and sometimes shouts that an anti-woman, far right wing, anti-abortion orthodxy is in control. Putting aside all of this and focusing on the story, I loved the family and really felt the pain of Nina of and Jose as they dealth with the outcomes from the situation they got themselves into, by "choice" or by chance.
