R.V is a short film by directors Melissa Center and Will Hawkes that depicts the horrific, dystopian future where abortions have been outlawed and must be performed in clandestine operations. Using little dialogue, the film manages to convey deep levels of emotion with body language and environment.
With the recent siege on women’s reproductive rights, the looming threat of abortion remains overhead. Women all over the world fear for a future where they lose this right, and R.V manages to artfully display that emotion through film.
Melissa Center and Will Hawkes impressively illustrate so many complex ideas with little to no dialogue. The skill this takes cannot be understated, and anyone who knows film will agree that R.V is nothing short of amazing.
I am pleased to rate this film with 5 out of 5 stars.
