The Placebo Effect (2019 TV Movie) User Reviews

If the word medium was depicted with a photo of a movie next to it in the dictionary

Every German movie is kind of slow but this one is SUPER slow for no reason. It really is "medium" in every aspect of it , lack of plot and acting are some basic observations. A bad thing is that while the movie should focus on unveiling the scandal of the human tests and the difficulty that the little girl had been facing, instead it focuses on a guy overusing his powers as a Stazi Officer and that by accident falls just in front of the scandal while trying to find out what medicine his daughter takes. The worst part is that it tries to make you feel more sad for the Stazi Officer that lost his job than his daughter. And to cover all this plot whole in the last 5 minutes suddenly we get bombarded by information either acted or written as an ending epilogue about how the German Government let this happen by getting multiple advantages such as gifts like clinic departments or by getting bags of money under the table WHILE THIS SHOULD BE THE MAIN PLOT TWIST. After all and as the time passes it seems that I am forgetting everything about this movie and I have watched it just 30 minutes ago. The movie is not a complete waste of time but , I would suggest that you watch it only if you have nothing else to do with your life .😁
