The story of private ambulances and the families that run them taking on the altruistic duty of what healthcare officials should ideally care about comes to the fore in Midnight Family, a docudrama that has brilliant performances by the actual people yet very low range when it comes to description. It gets repetitive after 30 minutes after it has shown the unorganized nature of the ambulance business in Mexico and how families fight with each other to get to a place of emergency even before the official healthcare system has shaken itself from laxity. The internal workings of these families and how they go on without a single penny for days while still helping people just out of goodwill is a great thing. Especially when the story has been told with charm and candour and crisp cinematography. Something to watch on a streaming service. TN.
