The God Committee (2021)

The casting in this movie is very smart. I haven't seen a bunch of these actors in a film in a long time (Kelsy Grammer, Janeane Garofalo, Julia Stiles) and they're all great playing characters you wouldn't expect them to. Grammer is especially fantastic as a brilliant surgeon who's broken to the core. The movie is pretty intense, but if you appreciate strong performances you will enjoy it.

Fmovies: Excellent storytelling depicted by a strong cast performance. The movie took the audience along an emotional journey of how a patient receives a donated organ. The question of what is considered ethical or not is woven throughout the film, uncovering the level of corruption and the decision making power that the hospital (God) committee holds in choosing an appropriate candidate for an organ. Overall, the God Committee is a compelling narrative that engages the audience with its plot, the cast, and the suspense of who rightfully deserves an organ.

The god committee is a very good thriller drama film ...it deals with the medical system and some tough decisions they have to make before executing it ..be it any experiment or on human life and the instinct which they have to go with ... beautifully written by Austin stark ... Some of the dilouges are brilliant and stays with you even after the film ends ...very emotional film .mm.the only negative which I felt is the pace and disappointing climax ...all actors were outstanding in there respective roles ...

The God Committee fmovies. The stress of responsibility, the conflict of interests both self and social. The unforgiving judgement and harsher consequences. A heart beating out of time and worth. A committee who collides with all the above and pick one to live on.

A masterpiece about the daily struggles and how they change the lives and attitude of Doctors.

This interesting and unique story - from a play by Mark St. Germain, was written and directed by newb filmmaker Austin Stark, in his second full length feature film.

I haven't seen the play, but the screenplay was only just interesting, and lacking of any real real excitement, or anyone to cheer for. The pacing was too slow, and there just wasn't enough substance to make the 98 min runtime fly by effortlessly. It played well into the Medicine vs. Morality vs. Commerce conflict in the donor decision making process, but that could've easily been portrayed in a much shorter screenplay.

Performances were decent, especially Kelsey Grammer and Julia Stiles (although their relationship wasn't convincing), but in general, the obvious lack of proper "cast direction" from Stark's inexperience was evident. Everyone seemed monotonic in their dialogue and body language.

The cinematography I found a little bland, and the score was nothing really spectacular. Nevertheless, a decent effort and presentation by Stark. If anyone is in the medical field, or has dealt with the donor process, I'd say it's a must-see, as they'll probably appreciate it more than a general audience.

Interesting board. Seems we got a racist, some haters, and a couple pumpers. Here's my take: This is a solid film. I was definitely expecting more of a thriller because of the advertising, but I'm glad I stuck with it. As many mention, the premise is fresh - a group of doctors having to decide who lives and who dies. Kelsey Grammar is great in a heavy role. I don't think he's been better (very different than Frazier). The rest of the cast, an eclectic mix of famous but not household names, are also really good. Janeane Garafolo in particular. As for the plot, it moves back and forth between two timelines. Slightly confusing at first, but I think it works and the film wouldn't be nearly as impactful without the time jumps. IMO, this is worth a watch as it's much better than most medical dramas.
