Excellent cinematography. Compelling and relatable story, up until the murdery. Who isn't ashamed of their body, right? At least, to some extent. Thank you, for writing a script that keeps it real. A script that allows the actors to portray real life, without overwhelming ethnic tropes. Thank you for creating caring, intelligent, well reasoned bipoc characters. "Until the lion learns to write, the hunter will always tell the story." Candice Marie Singleton and Alex Will Brooks delivered great performances. They're two young actors on the rise. Keep an eye on them, And you can tell the world that you discovered them before became big.

And before you judge the struggle of body dysmorphia (easy to do when no one else can see into your mind), I have to ask, are you projecting? I struggle with not being tall enough (good thing they don't offer spine stretching surgery for that), I'm not good looking enough. Hell, as young boy through young man, I thought I wasn't white enough (in addition to my African and Polynesian heritage, I am 90% white European. And was raised through the 60's and on, when there weren't people who looked like me in film)., or that I didn't have the blonde hair and blue eyes of my Viking ancestors. I'll step up and admit that I struggle with body dysmorphia. I think it was more a matter of fear that kept me from steroids and plastic surgery. Glad they didn't have calf and pec implants while I was young. Okay, maybe it was because I could afford those options...hahaha. Anyway, look in the mirror first.

Within the enigmatic confines of Clinic, a silent dance unfolds, orchestrated by Aleshia Cowser Jackson. The narrative, set against the mysterious backdrop of an underground clinic, invites audiences into a captivating exploration of the human experience.

The first frame of Clinic captivates with its cinematic allure, as the clinic itself becomes a silent observer, immersed in a chiaroscuro of light and dark, bearing witness to the intricate dance of choices and their far-reaching consequences.

This isn't your typical narrative; Clinic resists handing out answers, encouraging viewers to navigate the labyrinth of their interpretations. The Brazilian butt lift, initially symbolic of transformation, evolves into a metaphor for the intricate interplay between personal desires and societal expectations.

What distinguishes Clinic is its commitment to portraying resilience. Characters gracefully navigate the complex dance, rejecting victimhood and embodying the strength of the human spirit amid shadows.

I like to watch films with a smaller budget and young directors, but this is really too much. Such an uninteresting and boring movie with below average actors. The camera angles are weird, the dialogues are terrible, the story is pointless, save yourself by not watching this movie. Maybe it would be more lenient with the ratings if the movie was shot in the 70s or 80s with a budget of about 200 dollars. I never give a rating of 1, but this movie deserved a maximum of 2, but because of a lot of unjustified tens, I give it a 1. These days, everyone calls themselves a director and screenwriter. ..
