David Rooney Hollywood Reporter While the movie might be too unwaveringly downbeat in tone for some audiences, A Mistake functions as both an empathetic character study and a thoughtful examination of professional ethics, culpability and forgiveness... Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews A medical drama about accountability that's serious, bleak and powerful. Rated: B+ Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Mae Abdulbaki Screen Rant A Mistake is thorough in examining what happens when a medical mistake occurs, and the consequences that come up because of a moment gone wrong. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Pete Hammond Deadline Hollywood Daily Jeffs’ screenplay is as measured as her unflashy direction, perfect for a slow-burning story about a tragic incident with so many tentacles affecting a small circle of human beings caught up in it. Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Next Best Picture With powerhouse storytelling that results in a more than satisfying ending, “A Mistake” is emotionally gripping in all the ways a medical drama should be. The compelling nature of the narrative and character study simply cannot be denied. Rated: 8/10 Jun 8, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
