Le patient

No pun intended - also is not the past that forms us? That has made us the person we are today? Of course if something terrible and quite life altering has happened ... shouldn't we try to deal with it? And this is exactly what is going on here. I would not say that the movie has a twist for me towards the end, though you may feel different. I just know that the movie is well told and well acted.

If you had a trauma and your mind does not want to remember - well what to do? The thriller part of this is nice I reckon, but you can tell it was made for tv I reckon ... seen worse though - but this could have been tighter pacing wise. Still a nice movie overall (no pun intended here either)

The Lost Patient is an incorrect translation. The film is called The Patient in French. This is a French language and French film. Normally I am skeptical of cohesion in French films - but this one had me on my toes from the get go. The writers and the director are firing on all cylinders.

Thomas is the central character. He is the only living witness to a gruesome mass murder of his family. He barely survived himself.

Flash forward three years and Thomas is coming out of a coma. But something isn't right about him. He is seeing a psychiatrist and physical therapist but something is off.

The story is told via therapy sessions and flashbacks that Thomas has.

It's gripping stuff and as someone who knows from having lived through similar, this is a very realistic and well done thriller.

The ending is worth the wait.

I would say this is a very interesting movie obviously not the best movie so not a 10. But i'd say a good 8 because the ending is pretty shocking, I see a lot of people saying it's boring. Obviously the start will be a bit boring, it's not supposed to be an action movie. This movie really gets you thinking, there's many people you will suspect. The movie is unsettling but the right amount of it. I definitely recommend this movie to people who like watching true crime or documentaries. Some people find those boring but if you find them interesting this is definitely the movie you will enjoy""""

Like so many other movies, it sounds promising. There are moments when you feel it might actually be... good. Alas. It's not terrible. Just boring. I struggled to keep my eyes open more than with most "thrillers."

The acting is fair to middling. The plot twist was predictable. Perhaps I watch too many films but I guessed this twist long before I probably should have.

Do yourself a favor and watch "High Tension" instead. That one is simply brilliant and packs a serious punch. I bring this up because "Le patient" clearly was influenced or inspired by "High Tension." Sadly, it couldn't even come close.

This movie was interesting enough. It had a decent enough premise for the plot. A young boy is the only survivor of the brutal murder of his family. After that point he ends up in a hospital and the whole film is him exploring his past with his psycotrist. I will say it felt a little easy to figure out what was going to happen in the end but it did feel like something else could happen. That was not the case and it made the film feel a little dissapoiting. I wont say the film was terrible. It was good it just had terrible dialog in places but the acting was ok. Overall this was a movie you dont have to think to hard about but it was enjoyable enough to watch.
