Our heroine is Joy Griffin (Elizabeth Banks), a pregnant housewife in the Chicago suburbs whose husband, Will (Chris Messina), a successful lawyer, has just been made partner at his firm and whose daughter has just gotten her first period. Call Jane - a celebration of abortion - is torture. Nagy specializes in the kind of product that reviewers feel obliged to celebrate - not because of their aesthetic merits, but because their political-correctness quotients are through the roof.īut at least Carol - a modestly engaging period tale - was watchable. That picture was critically acclaimed, too. Written by Hayley Schore ( The Resident ) and Roshan Sethi ( 7 Days ), Call Jane was directed by Phyllis Nagy, who wrote Carol (2015), a lesbian romance starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara.
