Rating: 1/5 --
At 81 minutes, you won't be bored, but don't be surprised if the car ride home finds you questioning how an audition reel for a reality television program earned a theatrical release.

San Diego Reader
[A] haunting portrait of a family of emergency medical workers in Mexico City.

Portraits of institutional dysfunction don’t come much more urgent, and quietly bleak, than this...
Variety
A glimpse into the dysfunction of Mexico's patchwork of public and private health care, Luke Lorentzen's MIDNIGHT FAMILY follows a family of EMTs through Mexico City as they struggle to make a living keeping other citizens alive.
Hollywood Reporter
Rating: 4/5 --
Much of the film plays like a madly adrenal action movie.

The Arts Desk
4 stars out of 5 -- This is one of the great contemporary films about the look and feel of a big city after dark, luxuriating in the vastness of almost-empty avenues lit by buzzing streetlamps.

Product Description:
In the affluent suburbs of Mexico City, the Ochoa family maintains a thriving business, operating a private medical transportation service. The stakes are high as rival for-profit ambulances strive to encroach on the Ochoa's territory. Ultimately, the Ochoas recognize that the most crucial element of their job is not the money but the people who rely on them to receive the medical care they desperately need. Written and directed by Luke Lorentzen.
