Like most documentary makers addressing the health care crisis, McGarry can't begin to get his arms around the whole problem; this works best as a highly subjective account of a small portion of it.
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
Overview
Code Black follows a team of young, idealistic and energetic ER doctors during the transition from the old to the new L.A. County as they try to avoid burnout and improve patient care. Why do they persist, despite being under siege by rules, regulations and paperwork?

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
It sticks halos (probably well-deserved) atop the heads of its doctors, it goes for poignant moments without being all that poignant and ends up bemoaning without seriously suggesting any concrete paths to improvement.
Tom Long, Detroit News

A must-see for anyone concerned about the state of health care in this country. Which should be all of us.
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

"Code Black" shows the passion, frustration, and skill of those who work to heal despite the system, but it remains in the dark about why that system is broken and how it can be fixed.
Peter Keough, Boston Globe

"Code Black" presents itself as a demonstration of the current crisis in health care, and it's hard to watch without becoming enraged.
