The CinePearl Take
Poh Si Teng’s patient‑observational style shines, letting Dr. Alex Rivera’s quiet determination become the film’s emotional anchor. The pacing is deliberately measured, allowing moments of quiet reflection to sit alongside the frantic rush of emergency rooms, which reinforces the theme of systemic overload. While the narrative sometimes drifts into observational minutiae, the juxtaposition of individual stories with hard data makes the documentary feel both human and investigative.
