The God Committee Ratings & Reviews
Loud and Clear Reviews
Harry Solomons
The God Committee marks a smart, thought-provoking entry into the canon of bioethical filmmaking.
We Live Entertainment
Audrey Fox
The God Committee is in serious need of resuscitation, and it may not be worth saving.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A provocative drama about the ethical questions involved in choosing an organ transplant recipient.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
[It] has enough gripping suspense that it didn't need a futuristic subplot about [pig heart transplant] experiments ... All the principal cast members give very good performances, [so] any other flaws of the movie are overshadowed by these assets.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
"Committee" overstocks the moral predicaments sometimes, but it does raise many salient points.
Behind The Lens
Debbie Lynn Elias
A compelling narrative story [with] outstanding performances, most notably an award-worthy turn by Kelsey Grammer
The Spool
Tim Stevens
Watching Committee is an act of agreeing to dwell in unpleasant cynicism for over 90 minutes.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Despite some compelling performances, a potentially provocative exploration of medical ethics is compromised by melodramatic contrivances.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
In Austin Stark's serious-as-a-heart-attack melodrama, a hospital's transplant committee debates the ethics of who will get a human heart and live. Issues of class, race, mental health and money predominate.
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
A film that takes a fairly intriguing premise and a cast of strong actors and proceeds to throw both away with a script that is so cluttered and convoluted that it renders the basic drama at the heart of it all but inert.
Variety
Nick Schager
This earnest drama is a largely understated affair whose creakier elements are offset by a nuanced look at its various entangled issues.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
This medical pulse pounder is smart and efficient, written and directed by Austin Stark based on Mark St. Germain's play.
Screen Rant
Sarah Bea Milner
Squeezing every possible ounce out of the actors, script and sets, Austin Stark's thrilling medical drama that asks: what is the cost of living?
The Saturday Evening Post
Bill Newcott
We didn't need a movie to tell us we never want our fates... before a room of disinterested experts. The revelation of The God Committee, however, is just how many unhealthy people reside on either side of that life-or-death equation.
Nightmarish Conjurings
DarkSkyLady
The film keeps audiences invested for most of its runtime and does an apt job of posing the question, 'What would you do?'
Common Sense Media
Tara McNamara
For a film about heart, there's not a lot of it here. This drama is as cold as an emergency room gurney.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
"The God Committee" ostensibly ponders the ethical compromises involved in choosing organ transplant recipients, but it mostly illustrates the dangers of facile twists.
Spectrum Culture
Josh Goller
The story presumably made a good play, and would likely make for above-average TV, but as a feature film it feels slight even given the life-or-death subject matter.
Critic's Notebook
Martin Tsai
But the most glaring omission is that the film never tells us at any point whether any of the characters are able in 2021 to live with the consequences of the decision made seven years earlier.
Awards Radar
Joey Magidson
The God Committee is a melodrama, to be sure. It never shies away from that. At the same time, it doesn't feel the need to ever go the soap opera route, and that's a plus.
