Pro-Choice Dilemma for `Celia

A doctor is forced into an uncomfortable decision when her patient turns out to be the daughter of an old friend.

Allison Janney is the titular doctor, who, to start with, may be the typical, not-so-attentive doctor, and who, instead, is riveted to full attention because of the particular patient on her examination table.  She gives us a powerful glimpse into the emotional complexity of upholding a pro-choice value, when she's faced with the teenage daughter of a dear lifelong friend.  Her awkward halts and agonized expressions speak brilliantly to that complexity, and kudos to her for her deft acting.
