April Wolfe Village Voice Here's hoping The Bleeding Edge gets the right attention on a decidedly unsexy topic. Sep 1, 2018 Full Review Alonso Duralde What the Flick?! [Kirby Dick is] an amazing filmmaker, and lately I think he's really on a roll about these very kind of specific activist docs about things that are happening that we don't know about that we should know. Rated: 7.7/10 Aug 1, 2018 Full Review Christy Lemire What the Flick?! It is hard to watch, but it's a must-see. My one complaint is that maybe it tries to get its arms around too much. Rated: 7.3/10 Aug 1, 2018 Full Review Gem Seddon SFX Magazine Whether you live in a country with free healthcare or not, the sheer gall of some companies in rushing out products prior to being thoroughly vetted is astonishing. Which, of course, makes for compelling viewing. Feb 3, 2022 Full Review Brett Michael Dykes Uproxx It's a frustrating watch, but a necessary one. Dec 29, 2021 Full Review Kellee Marlow Film Inquiry How The Bleeding Edge elaborates on FDA's evaluation and decision-making processes as being influenced by the medical device industry makes this a jaw-dropping documentary narrative.

7tkjuj "I almost liked it but the hypocrisy through which they bring in left and right of politics really makes it look more political than otherwise existing decades of malice in the industry. The political buttressing removed the validity" I agree with the above review, the true intent of this film is propaganda, not revealing truth! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/22/23 Full Review Mark G Zero stars. Incredibly biased hatchet job. Don't waste your time; unless you want to be lied to by someone that doesn't understand reality. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Beyond insightful! Permitting viewers to go behind the scenes to uncover the ugly truths of what unwarranted sacrifices are being made in the name of medical technological. A must see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member MUST SEE FOR ANY AND EVERYONE!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member If you work in healthcare you will probably enjoy this. Very eye opening Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Plot is stunning. Structure could have been made more captivating. Although I really liked the story, I had sometimes to stop me from fading away in daydreams because of the long-winded nature. However, all in all a must watch for everyone interested in medical science. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
