Spiraling into dark corners of hospital life, this film showcases the corruption of power in many health care systems and depicts the uninhibited atmosphere that intensifies with every scene. But there is beauty in decay, as hope always exists. Like ghosts, the characters follow their instincts of what is right more than reason. The shadow side of human nature comes to light, interrupted by tender moments of caring, friendship and love. Patient 27 captures the raw, explosive, and emotional controversies surrounding psychiatric hospitals to this day and daringly asks the question, "How far can someone be pushed before they fall?"—AFMG
