    Elizabeth Banks needs to learn a second song

    Love medical dramas and this movie was perfectly cast while also showcasing a great understanding of a socialized healthcare system.

    That all being said, Elizabeth Banks's obsession with women being the target of "toxic masculinity" in both her personal life and body of work as an actress and director is getting tedious.

    IE; She cited that people hated her directorial performance in the Charlie's Angels reboot because of misogyny against female action movie leads and Spielberg never cast a female lead in his career.

    Both assertions are categorically incorrect and just sad statements on her capacity for self-pity.

    She doubled-down on this position in this movie where her character was some kind of flawless creature that is above making mistakes and any attempt to hold accountable for her medical care can only be attributed to sexism.

    Yawn!

    Don't understand low ratings

    I'm shocked at the low rating. I think it's a very powerful drama that makes you think what you would do in place of the characters. Maybe it is a little bit slow in action but it kept me in suspense and worry for the characters. Highly recommend it.

    Maybe I am biased because I like medical drama and how literally life altering decisions are made. But overall the movie sends a powerful message that can be applicable in all of our everyday lives. I definitely know I am not cut out for a surgeon or any medical professional of any kind. Perhaps those who actually work in the field might disagree with the presentation of events in the film, but again for a movie I think it was great.

    Good movie

    Started off slow, Elizabeth Banks as a top surgeon in her field operates while teaching in a gone a bit wrong operation. The patient Lisa ends up dying in intensive care after the operation.

    Then the hospital needs to find a guilty party. Her poor intern Richard takes this as a massive career loss.

    For me it makes me really think about Surgeons who daily try their very best to keep us alive. Sometimes people die. It haunts them I'm sure.

    Elizabeth does not a good job with her accent. Other then that it's a sad somber movie that takes a look at one case ... Heartbreaking as it is, I believe our Doctors try their very best to save us. If it can not be done then it was your time to go...not the surgeons .

    Another bland New Zealand film

    I love New Zealand and its people, I really do. But we are a very safe and predictable people, and so we tend to write terrible books (I should know I was forced to read a number of them in school) and make extremely bland films. 'A Mistake' is no exception. Sure, we got some Hollywood talent across the Pacific for this one, but the result was the same.

    In fairness its not all bad. I quite like a film that bases itself around a simple concept, or one minor event that leads to a number of consequences. For a film like that, this is about as good as you can expect. Yes a lot of the drama feels very forced and the characters are absolutely ridiculous and in no way resemble how normal people act, but hey, I guess you have to jazz things up a bit for the sake of the film.

    I don't know, I guess it's just disappointing because you almost always know exactly what you're going to get with a New Zealand made film. I keep waiting for the day someone breaks the mold, but this wasn't that occasion. A generous 6/10.

    Lacking pace, better accents and more

    Elizabeth Banks is among my most favorite actresses - her latest movie was a must-see.

    But, in hindsight, I am asking why.

    1) This movie is set in New Zealand.

    First of all, why do so many actors in this movie have an accent which doesn't resemble the Kiwi one? I have loads of friends from New Zealand and none of them sound like in this movie.

    If anything, some of the actors sound very British instead.

    2) While the premise of the movie is a decent one, the pace of this movie isn't keeping up with it. At times it feels a bit slow and boring.

    3) Many of my family members are doctors, nurses or work in key roles in a hospital. While mistakes do happen, the details of the movie aren't likely under many circumstances. The medical devices used, protocols followed, and education/mentorship received is very exact these days and follows a strict regime.

    4) Several story elements don't make much sense. Why was it such a big deal that some dog stays with her? How come that a lead surgeon/medical degree holder who isn't into cars drives a BMW E30 (a classic which would need a huge amount of effort/passion/tech to be on the road)? Why the crass language and swearing all the time by a degree-qualified doctor... profanities to show the extreme situation she is in? It can be done with a better script.

    Why don't the lead actress and the protege have no chemistry at all?

    Elizabeth Banks is still a great actress, but I don't think a medical drama is something she should do often.

    Maybe the standards of movie making are lower for films set in New Zealand.
