The most powerful drama of the year

I saw "Gosnell" on the opening day, and I have to saw that it is probably the most powerful drama of the year. The movie doesn't preach on the issue of abortion, it tells a story. A true and very chilling story of a sick, wicked abortionist who is "America's biggest serial killer." Very good acting and overall filmmaking quality. Exceptional film. HIGHLY recommended.

Just the Facts Ma'am

Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer. It's not the gross out propaganda film that certainly could have been. It's "just the facts ma'am" of a story of heinous killings that just happened to take place in a legal abortion clinic, but outside of anyone's definition of abortion. The movie is a thought provoking journey into a terrible crime that the media was afraid to report because of its political implications. Solid acting and screenplay conveys this bizarre criminal episode perfectly, without the frills or preaching.

I'm converted

After watching this and letting it sink in, I'm 100% pro life. What a fantastic movie about something so horrific. I'm satisfied with the outcome of this case and I pray to end abortion nationwide. Seriously, a heartbeat is a heartbeat. On a cinematic level, this movie is shot well and the acting is really good. A must watch!

A thought-provoking and well-made film

Whether you oppose or support abortion on demand in principle, you will find this docudrama to be an eye-opener. In a largely matter-of-fact way, this film tells the story of the atrocities committed by an abortion doctor whose crimes amount to no less than genocidal acts which have been largely ignored by the establishment media. The film is not propaganda, but it is thought-provoking and well-made, and it just might make you reconsider how abortion should be better regulated to prevent these inhumane acts from ever happening again.

I remember this story

I remember when this story first broke. It was shocking then. This movie brings details to light that makes you really think. It's well done. It's solid truth. But it's not pretty.

Trivia
Kermit Barron Gosnell is a former OB/GYN who was convicted of murdering three infants who were born alive during late-term abortions. He also killed at least one female patient.

Goofs
In the film, the investigators dress in protective gear prior to entering Gosnell's basement. The real investigators first entered the basement without protective gear and retreated upon encountering the flea infestation. They donned protective gear and entered the basement a second time.

Quotes
Alexis 'Lexy' McGuire: Why did you decide to take a picture of this particular baby?
Nurse: He was so big. He looked like he could be somebody's little brother. I just thought there should be a picture of him. To show the world that he was here for a little while.

Crazy credits
During the credits, photos are displayed showing the real Kermit Gosnell and Karnamaya Mongar, photos taken by law enforcement inside Gosnell's clinic and house, two of the turtles removed from the clinic, and video of Gosnell playing classical music on the piano while the police were searching his house.
