Doctor

Nelson doesn't let go of this darkly humorous tone even when things get serious, and the writing remains solid, giving us situations that might have felt implausible in a serious film, but work brilliantly because of the black comedy.

Nelson whips up a deliciously wicked dark comedy that works despite its predictable plot and twists. Even the most mundane scenes are elevated thanks to the quirky treatment. Despite a slightly predictable second half, Doctor stays afloat because of the way it uses humour to make every cliched sequence feel fresh.

Director Nelson's writing is top-notch, as are the performances by the ensemble cast, in this roller-coaster of a watch. The first half crackles with humour, with memorable characters and interesting set pieces keeping you invested till the end.
