Another pundit, Michelle Malkin, called the film groundbreaking and the "most important movie in America right now—a true-life saga of good vs. evil, deadly medical malpractice, systemic government malfeasance and cultural apathy toward the most vulnerable members of our society."

"Gosnell: The Trial of America's Biggest Serial Killer" depicts Gosnell's arrest, trial, and conviction for the first-degree murder of three born-alive babies and the involuntary manslaughter of patient Karnamaya Mongar. It's based on a similarly-titled book by the film's producers, investigative journalists Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer...

...Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin, who extensively covered the original case, called "Gosnell" "brave," "groundbreaking," and the "most important movie in America right now—a true-life saga of good vs. evil, deadly medical malpractice, systemic government malfeasance and cultural apathy toward the most vulnerable members of our society."

"Why are some babies 'so precious' and others just 'medical waste'? Very few films make the obvious contrast "Gosnell" does, because they understand that avoiding that comparison is part of the way society learns to live with a great moral evil," wrote conservative author Mark Steyn. "The filmmakers do not belabor the point: Indeed, the strength of "Gosnell" is that it is a true-crime drama, a police procedural, a courtroom cliffhanger and all kinds of other things rather than a piece of anti-abortion propaganda."

"That was a shrewd decision: "Gosnell" is well filmed, well told, well-acted, and both powerful and entertaining," Steyn concluded. "But it also has a rare integrity that should be rewarded at the box office."
