William Bibbiani TheWrap The events in Searcy's film demand to be taken seriously. The way he portrays them, sometimes, cannot. Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Steven D. Greydanus 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 Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times The film never loses sight of the choir to which it is plainly preaching. Oct 12, 2018 Full Review Brett McCracken The Gospel Coalition It's a slasher film about a bogeyman of a different, more disturbing sort. Aug 19, 2019 Full Review Sr. Rose Pacatte St. Anthony Messenger 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. Dec 13, 2018 Full Review Stephen Silver Splice Today Seriously lacking in local authenticity, while also propagating multiple false myths that came out of the Kermit Gosnell saga (Philadelphia Weekly) Rated: 2/5 Nov 27, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen H 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review Matthew K Great movie. Makes you think about things! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/06/24 Full Review Brian H 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/23 Full Review Joe P 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". Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Earl billings was great Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/30/23 Full Review Francisco S was this a movie made for tv??? It has no sense.
