Rating: B- --
It is a sobering look into a bureaucratic system that puts the patients second and the bureaucracy first.

Abdel's compassionate but controversial handling of a cancer-riven elderly woman provides the meatiest storytelling in this otherwise ho-hum workplace drama.

Los Angeles Times
The movie's institutional politics are fairly pat, though the fear, suffering, and helplessness of the individual patients and their family members are rendered so concretely that the moral imperative is impossible to overlook.

Rating: B --
As Algerian physician Abdel, Reda Kateb ("Zero Dark Thirty"), who won a Cesar for this role, gives a study in compassionate care despite a system which often has other priorities. He's the real star of the film.

Provides a stark insight into the demands made of junior doctors in a health system hamstrung by staff shortages and antiquated apparatus.

Radio Times
Rating: 2/5 --
Despite characterful ensemble work in the vein of Maïwenn's Polisse, scenes of spinal taps and form-filling outnumber life-or-death resuscitations, and its dramatic pulse tails off alarmingly.
