The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.
很多话想说，到最后汇成一句，希望中国也有这样的电影，真实，有力
对比一下剧本 摄影 演技 价值观 再来探讨什么能被称为文化大国
最后片尾的自白更是对所有人的叩问：
有人在拍社会反思，有人在拍没有“我们”你们会怎样。新冠三年，有了《援助》和《无耻之徒》，非典20年，还什么都没有。
原来是讲疫情的啊。突然想到，时间过了这么久，我们还没有一部电影真实反应近两年的生活状况，可能以后也不会有。一百年之后如果有人想了解今天发生了什么，只能去看微博辟谣记录。所以野史才是信史啊
新冠疫情下，英国政府对私人疗养院和护理机构的忽视，以及对英国nhs体制的抨击。就像最后莎拉在警车上说，什么时候我们变得不再平等了？中间那段莎拉深夜照顾病人的长镜头展现了朱迪的演技！
听小变态说英式英语真的变扭啊，有点用力过猛。
演的真好。大事件下小个体的挣扎，制度框架下的个人选择，有对抗也有无奈。抛开疫情，这个故事其实也可以成立。
本身疗养院生活就让人透不过气，疫情突袭更让人窒息。朱迪科默独自一人夜里照顾病人那段戏看得揪心。
电影本身的质量不重要，传达的意义高于电影。
整体感觉还是仓促了一些。无助、焦虑的情绪通过镜头传达到了。
五星的理由1 电影没有聚焦在疫情的主战场医院，而且选择了千千万万个疫情已经蔓延到但人类却束手无策的地方。五星的理由2 中间的一段长镜头，女主角在黑暗中孤立无援绝望得到处求助但是很遗憾事实就是这些人无暇被顾及或者说已经被放弃了，这样的场景是疫情刚刚爆发时无数个中国人的缩影。所有的镜头冷静又克制。
Jodie太有魅力了，在近几年冒头的新生代里属于绝对的实力派。对比之下，SOHO区惊魂夜里我同样喜欢的两位女演员在演技上就还有很大的进步空间（当然年龄也更小，还有时间）
Sarah最后在警车里对着镜头的含泪控诉，是每一个底层小人物心里的呐喊
国内应该引进这部啊，多好的宣传:NHS就是屎，CCP天下无敌！
女主最后一段在警车里冲着那些警察说的话，是对现今英国政府的痛斥。
情节和篇幅略显简陋，对白口音那真的重啊~
同样是讲述新冠疫情的电影，这和XX医生带给我的震撼和喜好程度完全是天差地别。这部小制作虽然小，但依然保留了最基本的电影感以及优秀的演员表演。朱迪·科默那段救助打电话的长镜头足以刻进我的年度难忘瞬间中。本片用以小见大的方式来剖析当时的英国在面对新冠疫情时的社会生活方方面面。仅仅是通过一辆救护车，几通电话就能营造出当时的混乱和对底层人民的抛弃与谎言，可见这部电影的控诉意味有多强，更不必提最后朱迪坐在车里以打破第四面墙的方式发出的灵魂拷问了。
外在威胁总是能让我们看清更多东西。
