🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its tension through the protagonist's deepening moral crisis, relying on dialogue and intimate cinematography rather than spectacle. It explores the fault lines where medical ambition meets human fragility.

What lingers after the credits is a quiet unease about the true cost of playing god with technology, a question that remains unsettlingly relevant. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Richard Pearce
