NYFF Review - 'The Inspection' Unearths Empathy in the Trenches of Bootcamp
The film exhibits a respect for the craft and an empathy for human tribulations that have historically been ignored.

Gynecologist Michal is caught cheating and must deal with a tricky, almost classic, love triangle situation. In the comedy Catch the Doctor!, he will deal with it in several different ways. After his attempt to save his marriage does not go quite as planned, he returns to the beginning of the film, to the point of one decision, and starts over. Differently. A total of three times, viewers will return to the same place on the same day with the main character, and three times they will be amazed at what can happen.

From its visually stunning opening credits, which show women dancing through a forest to musical rhythms that sound almost primal, to its quiet, heartbreaking final frame, Mona Fastvold’s historical rendering of the Shaker religious movement is an experience that will stay with me for a long time.
