Botoks

I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. Four women; three doctors and another just a nobody establish a bond and grow in a male dominated medicine world. The movie is able to keep the black comedy running for most of the time; and when not; it just reflects the anguish these people are living. Basically the four individual stories get tangled and at the end; the four characters had grown and changer their lives. As almost everything is medicine related; there are several strong shocking moments (like a C-section showed completely). The scenes seems real so it might affect people with a week stomach. Not all the parts work perfect and some things look forced; but the focus was obviously to show the corruption in medicine and pharmaceutics and criticized overall chauvinism in medicine. In brief if you understand Polish it might even be funnier; otherwise enjoy the subtitles.

I haven't seen a bad Polish film yet . I'm so glad that the ODEON saw a gap in the market and constantly show Polish films . It's refreshing to get a bit of culture from an unknown source .

The acting was good , the script was great . The subject matter was comprehensive. No stone was left unturned , no subject matter was considered beyond taboo.

Interesting characters and interactions , it kind of reminded me of the Oscar winning CRASH in the way the characters were all somewhat interlinked . You felt sympathy and warmth for them as they rose to the challenges of their extraordinary lives .

It's a film I would definitely watch again.

Pad.A 8/10

The pace and the choppy jumps between story lines reminded me of early Guy Ritchie films. That aside, I found the film fresh and original. The humour is dark and the life and death topics are handled without sentiment, so it's very grown up. But it's got a heart too, and the characters, especially the women, are engaging, for all their human failings!

Top marks for the acting, and a decent overall score. Would have been a solid 10 had the abortion argument been more even handed.

Shockingly realistic film uncovering drama from real life of health care, absolutely brilliant. One of the best foreign language films I've watched this year. It's not an easy or comfortable watch. It's biting, hard-hitting, funny and altogether moving. Many drastic situations and the brutality from the labor is shown up to our face without any limitations. Real eye-opener.

The director is casting Poles as drunks and idiots. Vega is short on logical action and is overdoing it with SHOCK aspects (showing fetuses popping from vaginas? come on..) Vega must be a disgusting pig, who should not be allowed to make another movie and poison the minds of young people! Please stay away and watch something, anything smarter than this disgusting so called "movie"
