14:27 min | Drama | USA Looking back on her first pregnancy, a woman navigates the echoes of a life-changing loss. Before You follows a couple in the wake of a decision they never thought they’d have to make: ending a planned pregnancy. With restrained storytelling and emotional honesty, the film explores the intimate—and often invisible—grief of pregnancy loss. It reframes the narrative around abortion, moving beyond politics to illuminate the personal and complex truths of reproductive experience. Starring Tony-nominated actress Tala Ashe, Before You speaks to the silent grief that touches countless families, offering space for empathy, reflection, and healing. IN SOLIDARITY WITH The Planned Parenthood Federation of America, Inc.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
