Critics consensus

“As narratively urgent as it is technically well-crafted, Midnight Family offers an enthralling and disquieting glimpse of healthcare in modern Mexico.”

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.

Packed with tense moments and disturbing shots that, without compromising the clients' privacy, hint at the unhappiness just offscreen.

With stupendous photography and a great sound design, Luke Lorentzen immerses you in a documentary that follows the Ochoa family that feels almost like a well-produced TV show... [Full review in Spanish]
