The Good Doctor
Running time: 85 mins
A slow-building psychosexual thriller starring Orlando Bloom.
Eager to impress his superiors, first-year medical resident Dr. Martin Blake craves much more than attention, going to great lengths to garner the worship of those around him. When a captivating young patient finally takes notice of his talents and gives him the admiration he desires, Dr. Blake goes to extreme measures to keep her under his care. But the "good" doctor's world soon turns topsy-turvy, and he finds himself frantically trying to cover his tracks while being blackmailed.
"While astutely capturing the occasionally bleak and warped world of intern life, director Lance Daly shows how enthusiasm can quickly turn into obsession in this slow-burning psychological thriller. Alongside a sharp supporting cast, Bloom paints a gripping portrait of a man who faces the accelerating depths of infatuation and, above all, ambition."
