Great story, but an unfortunately long, winding runtime.

3/4

Although this movie has the field to itself, it easily wins the title of best medical drama, circa the 2010s.

3/5

A movie that is something between a thriller and 'based on true events' with the charismatic Sidse Babett Knudsen. [Full review in Spanish]

This film is, at times, barely effective. [Full review in Spanish]

Si l'histoire peut prendre un temps à vraiment "décoller", La Fille de Brest est définitivement un très bon "medical drama" grâce à notamment une très charismatique Sidse Babett Knudsen dans le rôle titre. Un très bel exemple de courage et persévérance.
