TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

vlceptor Disturbing, shows the corruption of the medical industry which is very scary, can't believe it's happening in the world. If you're like me and always had little trust in doctors, this will make you hate them for sure

martimarti-271-689547 I can't remember being more shocked watching a documentary since Food Inc. The Bleeding Edge is deeply involving, showing struggles of real people instead of only bombarding viewers with dry facts. You could think that accidents may happen, but the idea that FDA and medical industry could willingly manipulate, cheat and lie to gain as much profit as possible is sickening - and yet it's a reality. Yes, you should research every medicine, every medical device you put in your body, every medical procedure you undergo. Nevertheless, not everyone does, not everyone would think to doubt their doctor's decision - in fact, most people would probably do what they were told. Films like this one are extremely important. Bayer is withdrawing Essure and hopefully they'll be more changes on the way.

henorychlik One of the best film I have seen in this topic. The Pill, The Sugar Film and Bleeding Edge are very important messages explaining how western system of control, run by government agencies is broken and is serving big corporations, not the people.

robin-benson I found this a first class documentary about the countries medical implant industry. How bizarre that these implants don't have to be tested, unlike new drugs, on humans but can be sold if they are similar to those already on the market. The program devotes a lot of time to Bayer's birth control implant Essure. In Europe the EU raised various questions that Bayer didn't want to answer and the product wasn't sold in there, now with thousands of court cases in this country Bayer have decided (for business reasons) to take the product off the market by the end of 2018.Essure is just one of the implants revealed in the film to cause medical problems another was metal hip replacements that can slowly fail over time and cause cobalt poisoning. Medical mesh merges with internal organs and tissue making it extremely hard to correct in later operations when there are problems. The Da Vinci robot surgical operating machine is too complex for surgeons to use unless they have had extensive training, the film revealed that many had not even though the company told the FDA that there would be a serious training program for surgeons, having got their product approved the training option evaporated.One thing that impressed me about this documentary is the absence of those dozens of little clips you get in documentaries these days to fill up time between one main point and another and they usually have annoying background music. In 'The bleeding edge' it's almost all people talking to the camera in a straightforward conversational way that gives the whole thing great credibility. There is background music but it isn't excessive. As a documentary this is an impressive change from the usual over-the-top-production that is the norm these days.
