Invisible (2017)

To all appearances, 17-year-old Ely is a typical teen drifting through her inconsequential days. She doesn't care about school, doesn't have many friends, and seems to have little parental oversight. She works for a veterinarian and has regular sex with her much older co-worker, finally resulting in a pregnancy. Ely never seems to panic, though. She still seems to drift. Abortion is illegal in Argentina (where this is set), so she researches other methods to end the pregnancy. We see more glimpses into her home life and sparks of personality, but really not much.

This was well-acted and deliberately quiet and truly human, but I just couldn't understand why it was made. It's a slice of life, sure -- but was it worth viewing?
