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.

William Bibbiani

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

Excellent movie. Wish it had more exposure since it’s important people understand this subject.

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.

Excellent movie. I made the mistake of looking at the web link at the end to see the actual picture of the murdered baby...its horrific, and definitely something that you should carefully think about before doing. But the movie itself is excellent. The acting is great. I was blown away by the real shots that mirrored the scenes in the movie. No matter where you fall on the political spectrum this is worth watching just to keep yourself honest...a bit like going to a slaughterhouse before you choose to eat that steak dinner. It'll make you think.

This movie is very well made and very accurate in its factual depiction of the events. It was riveting as well as horrifying in its moral depravity and its scope. The fact this name "Gosnell" isnt well-known throughout the country is an indictment on the willful collaboration with murder and racism our culture has embraced in order to defend, the indefensible position under the guise of "reproductive rights".
