Malpractice

About This Movie

So 'Malpractice' from 1989, a deep dive into medical negligence, is more of a docudrama than anything else. It really captures the tension between personal tragedy and the cold, hard legal system. The pacing isn’t frantic, but it draws you in as the mother grapples with the aftermath of her child's delivery. There’s a palpable sense of frustration, especially with her husband dismissing her inquiries. The performances convey a raw emotional weight, and while the direction is a bit unclear, the film's themes of accountability and maternal instinct resonate throughout. Practical effects? Not really the focus here, but the atmosphere is heavy with a sense of impending doom, which lingers long after the credits roll.

Focuses on personal and legal dilemmas over medical practices. · Strong emotional performances, especially from the lead. · Atmospheric tension builds as the narrative unfolds.
