** The movie received '''horrible''' reviews ([[http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-worst-films-of-2012,90103/ Making number three]] on the A.V. Club's worst movies of 2012), but among conservative Christian audiences, it might as well be ''Film/BladeRunner''.

* DesignatedVillain: Hannah's biological mother. We never really see her side of the story or why she wanted the abortion. All we get to see that she’s a supposedly cold and selfish woman who didn’t want to be a mother.

Added DiffLines:

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Hannah's biological mother, whom some viewers see as a JerkassWoobie. We really only see her from Hannah's point of view, so we don't really see her side of the story.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic:
** Jacob, who can be seen controlling, overprotective or even downright abusive towards Hannah.
** Hannah herself (see DesignatedHero above).
