A Mistake

"An intelligent, small-scale movie that never sensationalizes its material (...) Banks gives a steely, largely internalized performance" 

"Elizabeth Banks has one of her best roles to date in 'A Mistake' (...) Jeffs’ screenplay is as measured as her unflashy direction, perfect for a slow-burning story about a tragic incident" 

"As a showcase for the talent that is Elizabeth Banks, in addition to its existence as a thought-provoking exploration of the field of medicine and the human side of patient care, it’s an undeniable victory" 

"Yet this imperfect drama nevertheless engrosses in its exploration of the life-and-death complexities of the healing arts, and how what may appear a simple matter of right or wrong from the outside can be much more trickily nuanced for those actually making fateful decisions" 

"A Mistake explores the consequences of a single error in a heartfelt and emotional way (...) Elizabeth Banks shines in a challenging role that balances vulnerability and detachment. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
