Absolutely loved Black Medicine, from start to finish had me on the edge of my seat questioning where we were going. Cinematography was excellent, as was the soundtrack which perfectly complimented the high intensity feeling set the whole way through. Genuinely struggling to think of any drawbacks as I write this review, 10/10.

Been a massive fan of Amybeth since day one and loved seeing her in a darker role! Antonia and Orla are incredible throughout and adapted to their roles perfectly making the movie super tense!

I'd never seen a movie follow illegal medicine before and found it really eye opening! Would definitely recommend to watch it.

"Jo" (Antonia Campbell-Hughes) is an anaesthetist who hires out her professional services for black market operations, usually for the more criminal elements of society, and she is well paid. She has a crisis of conscience, though, when one such "opportunity" is to involve her carrying out an heart transplant operation from a live (and completely unaware) donor to the daughter of a wealthy woman. What ensues now is an increasingly far-fetched tale as she tries to help the young lass "Áine" (Amybeth McNulty) escapee the clutches of this woman and her heavily armed (though luckily, none too bright) henchmen. I suppose the underlying premiss had to be possible at some stage - there are bound to be clandestine facilities to treat people whom the ordinary healthcare systems would have to refer to the police, but the rest of this is just so implausible as to make it nigh on unwatchable. I suppose it asks what wouldn't one do to save the life of their child - especially if money's no object, but the acting is barely adequate, the lighting needed far more wattage, the audio is frequently quite difficult to hear and the pace of the film adds nothing to the overall lacklustre experience. The ending has the virtue of being slightly left field - but again it was all just too contrived and even from a layman's perspective, just plain unscientific.
