Viewing Notes
Though The Clinic isn’t without its issues, the strong female lead helps to carry the movie through some of more confusing parts. Not that The Clinic is really all that confusing; it just takes its time to tease out the mystery at the center of the story. Not a bad thing, but a bit tedious.
Tabrett Bethell does a pretty good job as Beth, the woman whose plight we’re following here. The script should be commended for slamming a lot of the cliches that infest these sorts of movies directly into a brick wall and subverting the genre by allowing the damsel in distress to save her own ass rather than relying on a male to come to her rescue.
There’s more to it than that, but it was refreshing to see things play out in the unique way they did. Again, not an entirely polished piece of film making, but definitely worth a watch.
