    This documentary portrays a very compelling argument about the perils of running a private ambulance business in the broken healthcare system in Mexico City.

    One of the best doocumentary features I've ever seen. Viually astonishing and well-directed. Is a tough glance of one city night convulsions that, ven though is raw is not morbid or disrespectful in any kind. A masterfully crafted film that should be watched by everybody. This is not a film about heroes, is about people who help other people in a place where everything can happen -believe me, EVERYTHING-. Powerfully honest and necessarily moving.

    I do not know whether to say that the best of all is that it is real or that is the saddest thing. The documentary, beautiful.

    Se nos muestra la realidad que se vive en la Ciudad de México; una gran falta de un buen servicio médico.

    This movie is kind of a thriller. You're always asking what's happening next. It's terrifying and boring and fascinating all at the same time. All you can really say is, "poor fuckers." Driving and managing that private ambulance business looks unbelievably difficult. Must watch if only to learn how other people are living jesus christ!

    What a tragedy that a family has to be running every night to get their livelihood, third world countries thanks to their governments with populism, an excellent movie to see the reality of the nights.

    Midnight Family doesn't quite fulfill the story promised by the back of its DVD packaging, but its an extremely engrossing depiction of a messy, clusterfudge of an emergency healthcare industry in Mexico City. General audiences will have their eyes opened wide, and anyone with EMS experience will relive some their own past emergency calls through this family's ambulance.

    'Midnight Family' is a Mexican documentary feature film that focuses on a family who runs a private ambulance business. Guess what America, this type of system could be coming to you soon! When the movie follows the emergency calls the family is on the movie flows. I could watch that for hours. Call me crazy, but i would love this as a series of episodes. As for the family, they are just there and not explored with any care or detail. I want to know so much more about this Mexican ambulatory system and a ton more about how the family survives. How do they get paid? What's here is excellent, but I guess if you're left wanting more it's better than being bored over a bad final twenty minutes. We're scratching the surface of something that could be great, but had to settle for good. Final Score: 7.8/10

    Es uno de los mejores documentales de los últimos años. Imposible no ser empático con los personajes y las situaciones. El acercamiento con las pasiones humanas es quizá su gran cualidad.
