This police/court room drama is based on actual information on Dr. Kermit Gosnell (played by Earl Billings) who for decades ran a Philadelphia inner-city abortion clinic. In 2010, Philadelphia Police Detectives Wood (Dean Cain) and Stark (Alfonzo Rachel), with DEA and FBI agents, raid the clinic for evidence of illegal prescription drug sales. They are shocked by the clinic's filthy conditions, bags of aborted fetuses in hallways, and fetal body parts stored in a refrigerator. Interviewing clinic workers, they learn: patients are given anesthesia by untrained assistants; one patient died on the operating table from an anesthesia overdose; abortions were performed on babies older than 24 weeks; and some babies were delivered alive, after which Dr. Gosnell cut their spinal cord with scissors. The detectives take the bagged bodies to the coroner and bring the situation to the attention of DA Dan Molinari (Michael Beach). An Assistant DA (Sara Jane Morris) agrees to prosecute the murder case. Getting a warrant, they search Gosnell's home for missing files and other evidence and discover a large amount of cash (the required method of payment for Gosnell's services). In 2013, the DA's office brings Gosnell to trial on murder charges. Gosnell hires an experienced defense attorney (Nick Searcy, who also directs the film) who defends Gosnell as performing a service to minority women. The DA's prosecutor obtains compelling testimony and photos from one of Gosnell's young assistants. The jury deliberates for 10 days before offering their verdict.

| TheWrapWilliam BibbianiA film that could have been taken seriously as a drama — a politically one-sided but nonetheless competent drama — devolves into ghoulish sideshow grotesquery. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreIt’s a movie finding its audience, but as nakedly obvious as its message is and as limited as its shock/entertainment/outrage value might be — the empty seats in the press gallery of the trial suggest “the real enemy” — “Gosnell” isn’t likely to change anybody’s mind. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenThe film adopts a sanctimonious tone that’s anything but subtle. |
| User ReviewCarnitronPlease see this movie. So many forces have tried to prevent it from being made, and now there is an embargo on reviewing it. But it is a well done film with a story that absolutely needs to be heard by all fair-minded people on the topic of abortion. |
| User Reviewbe4ucme01For a pretty much unknown production company, the story was well done. Following actual police reports, interviews, etc. you see the real story of Kermit Gosnell. He is the worst serial killer in our nation's history. Regardless of any pre-conceived opinions you may have of abortion, see if you can watch this film and perhaps gain a different perspective. PG-13 so any teenager should view this movie. |
| User ReviewBettyLou‘Gosnell’ is a thought provoking crime drama based on a true story. The movie is well made with great acting and trial testimonies taken from court transcripts. The atrocities that happened at this clinic are horrific, yet almost no gore is shown. The fact that women and babies subjected to this awful treatment were mostly low income, minorities is disturbing. The truth of this well documented case needs to be told. |
| User ReviewGailruleThis factual story of a unethical doctor allowed to mistreat women, and ignore current law, was very well done, especially considering this polarized issue. While it's certainly not a "feel good" movie, it is well worth your time. I cringe at professional reviewers, who choose to defend their personal Pro Choice belief, and totally miss and ignore the point, that this disgusting "treatment" of women should never be allowed or condoned for any reason. Reviewers even attempt to suggest, that main characters are biased, and shouldn't be allowed to show any feeling based on their experience prosecuting this murderer. Name one movie about a serial killer, where the main characters weren't personally affected by the acts of the criminal. The fact that this actually happened in the US is unconceivable and shameful, no matter where you stand on the Pro Choice vs Pro Life spectrum. At least the Cosnell jury got it right. This "doctor" should never have been "practicing" medicine, his clinic should have been shut down immediately, saving countless women, as well as viable babies, from this disgusting medical "treatment". His man was a serial killer, thinly disguised as a man of medicine. "How did this ever happen in the US?", and "How do we stop this from ever happening again?", are the important questions that every person should be asking themselves after seeing this film. It's a story worth consideration. |
| User ReviewNoahboyIt is poorly shot, is the opposite of subtle, and preaches directly to the choir rather than giving an actual recounting of events. The agenda of this movie is very clear withing the first few minutes. (I hate using the word "agenda," but there's really no other word available to describe what this movie is obviously trying to convey.) Comparing all abortion doctors to this man is straight up misleading. |
