Review of Code Black (2014) by Silentfoster — 06 Jul 2014

I completely disagree with most of the critics that believe that this documentary is compelling or remotely deep in any sense. I felt that the director dedicated 90 minutes to create a "yearbook" of his residence and his friends.

The film was the cinematographic equivalent to the physician's facebook newsfeed. There was little critical social commentary, and when there was, it sounded old, repetitive, empty. Too much idealization of the ER physician.

I would like to see a follow up in 5 years and see how many of these altruist doctors are actually doing any altruistic work.
