« In fifteen precise shots the film [Speak Body] economically and evocatively gives voice to multiple views of various women's experience of abortion, as testimony. And voice, Speak Body's primary mode of address, is its structural lynchpin. A rhythmic, almost breathless, rush of female voices conjoin—in a sometimes staccato, sometimes lyrical manner—to give various (and often contradictory) ruminations on their lived experience. Although these cross-cut, sound-looped voices are non-synchronous and mostly disembodied (rarely are we offered the opportunity to directly match a voice to an image of a woman, yet there are conceptual links), Speak Body adroitly eschews its normalized effects, distance and objectivity, in its application to documentary practice. »
