criticism
“A very broad, melodramatic image of life and character that respectfully and unmistakably emphasizes the medical ethos and respect for people. Impressively played, dense and excitingly staged, the film for its part builds up the positive image of a superman, with the blatantly patriarchal representation of gender roles in particular torpedoing the progressive message. "
