Chicago Reader

The movie's institutional politics are fairly pat, though the fear, suffering, and helplessness of the individual patients and their family members are rendered so concretely that the moral imperative is impossible to overlook.

Washington Post

There are few things more fascinating than when competent professionals disagree, especially if we appreciate the source of their impasse.

Rated: 2.5/4

Lilti, himself a former doctor drawing from his own experience, includes telling details but can't summon a convincing tone.

It is a sobering look into a bureaucratic system that puts the patients second and the bureaucracy first.

Film qui encapture toute la bétise des stéréotypes grossiers. Les français sont méchants, égoistes, nuls, alors que les étrangers sont exploités, plus intelligents, gentils et bienveillants, et payent les pots cassés. The talent of filmwriting put to the service of a harmful stereotypical film that distorts reality. The French doctors practice nepotism, are incompetent and selfish whilst the Algerian ones (and others) are super amazing and are exploited and pushed around by the evil system. Hard pass.

Um filme simpático sobre um residente que vai trabalhar no hospital onde seu pai é o chefe. Lá ele descobre os graves problemas dos hospitais franceses bem como o protecionismo pelo fato de ser filho do diretor. Bom.

Ótimo filme que mostra as condições de trabalho de médicos e residentes, com suas dimensões cientificas, éticas e sociais com o toque do cinema francês para fazer um retrato verdadeiro que foge totalmente das glamourizadas series americanas.

La vie d'un hôpital (Raymond Point carré) où les internes ne pensent qu'au sexe; les dirigeants couvrent les manques de certain (fautes professionnelles), du à la mauvaise affection des budgets et le dysfonctionnement (voir non fonctionnement du matériel médical.

Le film tend a s'eparpiller entre trop de maux du milieu hospitalier pour parvenir a isoler un traitement vraiment marquant. Tout comme Lacoste et Kateb font le job avec talent sans pour autant atteindre une intensite dramatique propre a retourner totalement le spectateur.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

The explorations of the dark side of healthcare (administration) system in France (or even globally, in a sense). All realistic & inspiring, until the kinda fooling-around ending. Reda Kateb is doing all good here, although not quite identify with him playing the caring & principled guy.
