Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael PhillipsExceptionally well-crafted, this doc may appeal most to those who have a doctor in the family. But I can't imagine anyone seeing it dispassionately.
Toronto Star - 9/10 by Jason AndersonA British neurosurgeon's personal humanitarian mission is the subject of this compelling, moving and often surprising documentary.
Globe and Mail - 8/10 by Liam LaceyHarrowing both physically and emotionally, but also filled with humour and deep insight.
Jam! Movies - 8/10 by Liz BraunAn edge-of-your seat documentary from Geoffrey Smith about a British physician who has done pro bono work in Ukraine for 15 years.
Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Lewis BealeStirring, heartwarming documentary about English neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who donates his time bringing modern medicine to the Ukraine.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Betsy SharkeyLike Marsh, the filmmaker has taken a sort of triage approach to telling the tale, with near-perfect pacing as he moves between Marsh, the patients, and Marsh's wonderful Ukrainian colleague, neurosurgeon Igor Kurilets.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Mick LaSalleThe laughs, including the big laughs, keep coming right up to the closing seconds.
Compuserve - 7/10 by Harvey S. KartenGood to know that there are still doctors around who do not spend all their waking hours thinking of $$$. (OK, maybe only in England, but that's a start.)
New York Times - 6/10 by Manohla DargisHenry Marsh is a British brain surgeon whose humanity and talent with power drills make him an uncommonly enthralling linchpin.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanIt must be said that everyone - including Dominic West and Rosamund Pike -- works awfully hard to entertain us. But that just makes it all the more depressing when joke after joke falls painfully flat. Stay home and introduce your kids to Mr. Bean, instead.
