Ian Buckwalter The Atlantic Wants to be a twisty nail-biter, but never creates much suspense or surprise. Rated: 5.5/10 Oct 9, 2012 Full Review Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times Targeting age-old English class consciousness, not contemporary American healthcare woes, the movie is a shrewd commentary on careerism and status. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 31, 2012 Full Review Sara Stewart New York Post Whether you take it as a comment on our rote acceptance of authority figures or just a deliciously creepy character study, you'll come away from "The Good Doctor" wanting to keep religiously eating that apple a day. Rated: 3/4 Aug 31, 2012 Full Review Scott Weinberg TheHorrorShow An intermittently fascinating character study about a plain man who does evil things for selfish reasons. Aug 26, 2015 Full Review Richard Haridy Quickflix ...the picture never pushes the creepiness of Bloom's doctor far enough to make the experience wholly effective but it's fun to watch Bloom stretch his legs in a sinister role. Rated: 3/5 Nov 25, 2013 Full Review Brent Simon Shared Darkness A solidly constructed little character study of dark romantic bloom commingled with slipping-knot mental instability. Rated: B Feb 7, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Kailey B This movie was absolutely terrible and they tried to make it thrilling and suspenseful but it just wasn’t and it did not flow. I wish I could get the time back that I spent watching this movie. I would not recommend this movie to anyone ever! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Iamwhoi M This movie is just gawd awful FLAT. All the characters are flat, except Riley Keogh's; and hers is semi-flat. Uninspired writing is to blame, as the movie has a very capable cast. When it ended, my response was "That's it???" Should've been written much better, then the final product just might have been something. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Jonathan L UNDERRATED: I've looked at the audience reviews and I think what happened here is that many audience viewers rated this MOVIE poorly, when they meant to rate the SHOW poorly. The Good Doctor (movie) is a wonderful piece of cinema, a great phychological thriller, and a really gripping story. Bloom's stellar performance gave the charecter a horrifically indifferent attitude towards his actions that made him that much more creepy to watch. I also love the inner conflict this movie induces, by making the protagonist and the antagonist the same person, it really becomes a movie less about the moral, and more about the experience. Aside from that, the stellar, solemn cinematography and score helped unite all these factors into one coherent depiction, of one very f*cked up doctor. Only issues were that it drags a bit in the beginning and the supporting cast was lacking a tad. 92/100 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Elvis P 40 min before ending you can packed all the movie and realized that is underated movie but it can be true. take care with your doctors. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I blame myself for getting hooked at Know It All General. We need a CT scan, panel ,coags, chest films, psych eval, a unit of whole blood, and ...... Nurse Im going to put a chest drain in !! Brain surgery ? No problem, I'm a third year resident ! Can't do it until I finish putting the bone plate on and by the way your sexist ! No I'm not ! Yes you are !!! Kiss, Kiss. (We really shouldn't be doing this.......) The end ? Nooo.... It keeps going. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Really solid acting, particularly from Orlando Bloom. But overall the movie wasn't as good as it should have been considering the solid acting involved. It was ok, but could have been better and it missed the mark in the second half. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
