Because I enjoyed (if that is the word) watching Midnight Family, I was not particularly troubled about what it’s doing or why.

Midnight Family is a fascinating portrait of dedicated people at work.
| Dec 22, 2020
Midnight Family suffers from a certain passivity, and it lacks any social or historical context, the products apparently of what the director calls "observational" filmmaking.
| Aug 6, 2020
Compelling, sobering and deeply humane.
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 4, 2020
With a great work of editing and cinematography, the documentary takes us by the hand of the Ochoas for several nights. [Full Review in Spanish]

Lorentzen's eye is very subtle and elegant that shows the serious healthcare issues in Mexico City. [Full Review in Spanish]

Lorentzen communicates his ideas well enough. [Full Review in Spanish]

Still, it's a gripping film. The Ochoas are quietly engaging, their night shifts like scenes from a Scorsese urban hellscape.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 2, 2020
Lorentzen plunges us into the blood and guts of the city as we careen along inside the ambulance.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 2, 2020
Mexico City has fewer than 45 official ambulances serving nine million people... Luke Lorentzen's adrenalised documentary focuses on one of the private teams that fill the gap.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 24, 2020
Packed with tense moments and disturbing shots that, without compromising the clients' privacy, hint at the unhappiness just offscreen.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 23, 2020
[A] superb observational documentary...
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 22, 2020
An engrossing look at Mexico City at night and the underground industry that has filled the gap left by lack of government funding.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Feb 20, 2020
Fast paced, action packed. An intimate portrait of the human costs of Mexico's healthcare crisis.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 20, 2020
Much of the film plays like a madly adrenal action movie.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 19, 2020
Were it not for the real tragedy and horror involved, this documentary could almost be filed under the bleakest and often hilarious kind of black comedy.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 19, 2020
An acutely observed and frequently heartbreaking documentary.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 18, 2020
Luke Lorentzen's compelling, fly-on-the-wall documentary captures the madness, manic energy and dubious morality of Mexico City's broken healthcare system.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 17, 2020
Exhilarating filmmaking, and at a brisk 81 minutes, you'll be in the parking lot, halfway to your car, before the ethics of it finally catch up to you.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 6, 2020
