Unpregnant is a witty and heartfelt coming-of-age road comedy adapted from the YA novel of the same name by Jenni Hendriks and Ted Caplan, directed by Rachel Lee Goldenberg. The story follows Veronica (Haley Lu Richardson), a 17-year-old honor student from Missouri who discovers she is pregnant. Ambitious and college-bound, Veronica decides on abortion, but the procedure for minors requires parental consent in her state. Unwilling to involve her conservative parents, she learns that the closest clinic without these restrictions is over 900 miles away in New Mexico. She enlists her former best friend Bailey (Barbie Ferreira), a rebellious loner, to join her on an unplanned road trip. Along the way, the two encounter strange hitchhikers, accidental detours, and quirky characters—including a conspiracy theorist mechanic (Breckin Meyer) and a bounty hunter couple. As obstacles mount, the journey rekindles their friendship and forces both to confront issues of trust, identity, and support. Rachel Lee Goldenberg balances comedic set-pieces with moments of sincerity, delivering sharp commentary on reproductive rights and personal choice without sacrificing character-driven humor. Cinematographer Greta Zozula captures wide-open highways and roadside Americana, emphasizing themes of freedom and self-discovery. Strong performances by Richardson and Ferreira anchor the movie’s emotional impact, while Giancarlo Esposito adds gravitas with his role as a cool, mysterious driver. Unpregnant uses the structure of a buddy road movie to address timely social issues, resulting in a fresh, empathetic film that speaks to both teen audiences and adults about bodily autonomy and the importance of true friendship.
