Clinic

Excellent cinematography. Compelling and relatable story, up until the murdery. Who isn't ashamed of their body, right? At least, to some extent. Thank you, for writing a script that keeps it real. A script that allows the actors to portray real life, without overwhelming ethnic tropes. Thank you for creating caring, intelligent, well reasoned bipoc characters. "Until the lion learns to write, the hunter will always tell the story." Candice Marie Singleton and Alex Will Brooks delivered great performances. They're two young actors on the rise. Keep an eye on them, And you can tell the world that you discovered them before became big.

And before you judge the struggle of body dysmorphia (easy to do when no one else can see into your mind), I have to ask, are you projecting? I struggle with not being tall enough (good thing they don't offer spine stretching surgery for that), I'm not good looking enough. Hell, as young boy through young man, I thought I wasn't white enough (in addition to my African and Polynesian heritage, I am 90% white European. And was raised through the 60's and on, when there weren't people who looked like me in film)., or that I didn't have the blonde hair and blue eyes of my Viking ancestors. I'll step up and admit that I struggle with body dysmorphia. I think it was more a matter of fear that kept me from steroids and plastic surgery. Glad they didn't have calf and pec implants while I was young. Okay, maybe it was because I could afford those options...hahaha. Anyway, look in the mirror first.

Apart from the initial glimpse into what lies ahead, Clinic starts off rather straightforward, yet it evolves into an unexpected journey. But let me not get ahead of myself. The storyline revolves around Lisa, a young mother who supplements her income through stripping to support her son. Aware of the higher earnings her friends with more prominent buttocks receive, she, on a colleague's suggestion, opts for a Brazilian Butt Lift surgery. Unbeknownst to her, this choice not only turns her life upside down but nearly brings it to an end. However, this movie transcends mere thrills; it delves into societal issues like body shaming, shedding light on their lasting psychological effects. The amalgamation of societal commentary and a captivating narrative involving a disturbed surgeon makes the film a compelling watch.

"Clinic" is a gripping and intense thriller that delves into the life of a stripper. The protagonist battles with deep-seated insecurities about her body, a common issue faced by many in her profession. Desperate for a change and convinced that body implants are her ticket to a better life. The plot takes a dark and sinister turn as the protagonist falls into the clutches of a malicious doctor and the audience is left on the edge of their seats. Overall, "Clinic" is a harrowing thriller that explores the complexities of its characters' lives, while also weaving a dark and suspenseful narrative around a vindictive doctor. It delves deep into themes of insecurity, desperation, and the consequences of the choices we make when driven by desperation.

This is a compelling drama that takes viewers deep into the often hidden and misunderstood world of adult entertainment. The film follows the journey of a young woman struggling to find her footing in an industry that prizes physical perfection and sensational appeal. When her career stalls, she opts for a Brazilian Butt Lift, despite warnings from professionals, hoping that it will give her the edge she needs to succeed.

The lead actress delivers a nuanced and deeply human performance. Her portrayal of a woman caught between ambition and self-doubt is both relatable and heartbreaking. Her on-screen chemistry with the co-lead is electric, grounding the film in a believable and emotionally charged relationship that is as tender as it is fraught with tension.

Shavonia, who takes on the role of the doctor, brings a different kind of energy to the film. Her character's eccentricity and borderline madness add a layer of unpredictability and dark humor, making her scenes some of the most memorable. Shavonia's ability to oscillate between caring professional and unhinged visionary is a testament to her acting prowess.

The rest of the cast also deserves praise for their strong performances. They create a world that feels both authentic and engaging, allowing the audience to empathize with their struggles and triumphs. The director does a masterful job of balancing the film's darker themes with moments of levity and hope, resulting in a narrative that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.

"Clinic" is not just a story about physical transformation but also an exploration of identity, self-worth, and the lengths to which people will go to achieve their dreams. It's a film that challenges the viewer to look beyond the surface and consider the deeper implications of the pursuit of beauty and success.

If you're looking for a movie that combines strong performances with a storyline that will keep you thinking long after the credits roll, "Clinic" is definitely worth watching. Its exploration of complex themes and its standout cast make it a film that deserves attention and acclaim.

I like to watch films with a smaller budget and young directors, but this is really too much. Such an uninteresting and boring movie with below average actors. The camera angles are weird, the dialogues are terrible, the story is pointless, save yourself by not watching this movie. Maybe it would be more lenient with the ratings if the movie was shot in the 70s or 80s with a budget of about 200 dollars. I never give a rating of 1, but this movie deserved a maximum of 2, but because of a lot of unjustified tens, I give it a 1. These days, everyone calls themselves a director and screenwriter. ..
