J. R. Jones Chicago Reader 09/17/2015
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. Go to Full Review Alan Zilberman Washington Post 08/06/2015
2.5/4
There are few things more fascinating than when competent professionals disagree, especially if we appreciate the source of their impasse. Go to Full Review Peter Keough Boston Globe 07/23/2015
Lilti, himself a former doctor drawing from his own experience, includes telling details but can't summon a convincing tone. Go to Full Review Michael J. Casey Michael J. Cinema 08/27/2021

S P 10/26/2023 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. See more 08/17/2015 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. See more 08/10/2015 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. See more 01/11/2015 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. See more 01/05/2015 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. See more 10/28/2014 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. See more Read all reviews
