Hilarious, cynical movie in which Dern plays a pregnant paintspray-huffing pinhead who becomes the rope in a tug-of-war between the pro-choicers and pro-lifers.

Probably Laura Dern's finest performance. A simple lampooning of a controversial issue that brings the laughs. The best part is when one of the pro-choice activists chases after Dern with coffee cup planted firmly in hand.

i know these kind of stuff is an issue in some places,it's good that it didn't solve anything or take sides because the matter is that way, but pardon me it didn't suite me at all.

No character in the movie is even remotely likable, which makes watching "Citizen Ruth" a real joy.

Working with such an original script, Payne finds just the right tone -- one doesn't take anything too seriously, neither baby savers nor pro-choice members -- to build an intense, awkwardly moving and funny dramedy about this sick woman and her thoughts on having an abortion. Laura is scandalously good.

Laura Dern gives a fantastic performance in this film. Unfortunately the story drags on after awhile.

A disappointment. It is a film both about the abortion issue and how individuals are caught between political groups, and yet it doesn't grasp at anything profound, no matter how small, or any jokes outside of bad wigs and shallow stereotypes. The only aspect which succeeds, and shows what this film could have been, is Ruth (Laura Dern) who for all her dubious qualities can be sympathised with as a bored, naive individual with nothing to live for outside of solvent sniffing.

Witty and brilliantly handled, it probably does nothing to settle the abortion issue, but in its holding up a mirror to the prominent players in the respective movements, causes us to chuckle at what a farce it has become. [ Full Review]
