The story of Dr. Kermit Gosnell, whose dangerous and unethical practices in his abortion clinic led to his conviction on murder and manslaughter charges, resulting in a life sentence in prison.

TheWrap

The events in Searcy's film demand to be taken seriously. The way he portrays them, sometimes, cannot.

National Catholic Register

Tells a story worth telling, and does so reasonably well, but while it avoids actual preaching, it's still addressed to the choir. That doesn't make it a bad film, but it could have been a better one.

Rated: B

The film never loses sight of the choir to which it is plainly preaching.

The Gospel Coalition

It's a slasher film about a bogeyman of a different, more disturbing sort.

The film may be preaching to the people who already believe that abortion is the taking of the most innocent of human lives, but perhaps it will inform and change some hearts.

Seriously lacking in local authenticity, while also propagating multiple false myths that came out of the Kermit Gosnell saga (Philadelphia Weekly)

Rated: 2/5

Superb movie, tight script, and excellent acting. If it weren’t for the subject, I suspect it would have received more buzz and many more people would have seen it.
