Men learn to deceive at a very young age, and women learn to pretend at a young age.

When I saw the first third, I thought it was to expose the shady transaction between the medical representative and the doctor, and I enthusiastically recommended it to my mother. Seeing two-thirds, they thought it was Jude Law's female colleagues who colluded with female patients to punish him in order to compete with him. Towards the end, oh... It turns out that the female colleague and the female patient are good friends, and there is still a passionate scene, which made me hurry to mute. The ending is quite satisfactory. I have watched a lot of similar films, and I can basically guess it.

In fact, on the whole, the storyline is still good, and the actors also support the play, but the rhythm is relatively slow, and the soundtrack of the film is not very good.

But there is a sentence in it - men learn to deceive at a very young age, women learn to pretend at a very young age - leaving a deep impression on people. But in the end it was the man who won, not because of how strong he was, but because the female patient's love for the female doctor was so unreliable, people just took some medicine, and they all shook out. Worth a lifetime commitment.

It’s not a very good film, it’s meaningless, and it’s not aesthetically pleasing. Just watching it once is enough.

    The script is interesting, it has been reversed twice in a row, the cast is strong and the acting is superb

  • Martin's Mother: [reading from Emily's letter] "We go to doctors with our sadness and our faith in the hope they will guide us toward health. But instead I have gone down a path toward a misery I never could have imagined. And I have taken my loved ones with me. My only hope is that no one else follows me to this place."
