An absolute cinematic disaster.
The new medical director breaks the rules to heal the system at America's oldest public hospital. Max Goodwin sets out to tear up the bureaucracy and provide exceptional care, but the doctors and staff are not so sure he can succeed. They've heard this before. Not taking "no" for an answer, Dr. Goodwin's instinctive response to problems large and small is four simple words: "How can I help?" He has to disrupt the status quo and prove he'll stop at nothing to breathe new life into this underfunded and underappreciated hospital, returning it to the glory that put it on the map.

New Amsterdam: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

If whispered monologues were currency, New Amsterdam would settle the national debt.

The cinematography in New Amsterdam is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Rewatched New Amsterdam last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in New Amsterdam?
Just got out of New Amsterdam and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Unpopular opinion: New Amsterdam is the most overrated film of the decade
Director clearly thought New Amsterdam was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
