THE PERFECT PATIENT is the captivating story about the biggest legal scandal in Swedish history, the story about the reporter who questioned an entire legal system. Hannes Råstam was dedicated to proving the innocence of Thomas Quick and unmask the legal chaos which sentenced Quick to a life in psychiatric prison. However, no one was interested in exonerating and freeing the worst serial killer in Sweden, a cannibalistic rapist who had been sentenced for eight murders and confessed to another twenty-five. This tale lays out a puzzle for the viewer to put together as the incredible story behind the Thomas Quick case is laid bare piece by piece. The audience will be continuously captivated by secret sources and one person's resilient sense of justice all the way until the overwhelming ending.

flixster f Also known as "Quick", this is an engrossing movie based on real events. What sets it apart from the usual is how the person allows to be manipulated into false confessions in exchange for conveniences in the institution for the criminally insane. Unfortunately, it's not well told as it brings in some unnecessary drama. While it's true that the journalist was indeed suffering from cancer, the director uses it in a conventional, formulaic way to tell the story. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
