Damaged Care Reviews

---

An unusual film!
This picture is a little gem. It hasn't special effects; there are not technological advances, and in this sense you could say this is an old fashioned work. And nowadays that's by itself, signifies something.
The story deals about the ethic deficit in which the world is immersed. Is the health susceptible to be considered another market service by itself? Or perhaps if the goal of any enterprise related with such delicate subject as the public health is reduced to a double statement: maximum benefits and reduction of costs?
Laura Dern makes a convincing portrait of a doctor who is incapable to understand the mechanism of the actual state of things and decides to act like a voice in the desert. She is not convinced about certain rational decisions permeated of the sweet smell of the success: Somerset Maugham stated once: "In times of hypocrisy, the sincerity is considered as cynicism". So our lonely character seems to have chosen the most difficult way: she argues and refuses what in her ethic is out of context and becomes immediately in "The enemy of the people" .
She renounces to her two previous jobs due serious painful cases that simply don't follow the established rules.
Passionate script, that will leave you thinking for a long, long time.
This movie means to Laura Dern her best artistic achievement to date.
"If we do the things just for believing that other person expects we do it, and he or she expects because he believes it that we expect that he expects it, we'll finish doing everything what nobody wants to do, which it is a ridicule way of proceeding" Georges Bernard Shaw


Excellent
Excellent movie, gives one an interesting view of the insurance industry and the value the companies see in human life.
