Review of Playing God

Playing God (2020 TV Movie)
9/10
Very thought provoking
6 December 2020
This film presents many sides to the assisted-suicide debate in the form of an ethics committee discussion. The acting and the actual script were very engaging, they kept me glued to the film from start to finish. As another reviewer pointed out, this is film is really an "exercise for the mind". The debate's script touched on all sides of the topic, from freedom, to religion, to ethics, to the hippocratic oath. It really makes you think and engages you with the different sides of the argument. I even - for a small while - could agree with the bishop's arguments against assisted suicide, although I'm nowhere near being a religious person; this is how good the film is. I think the film captures the essence of the issue quite well.
