Expert surgeon Elizabeth Taylor (Elizabeth Banks) makes a fateful decision during a routine surgery by allowing her young colleague to take charge of a delicate procedure. When a mistake occurs that can't be undone, Elizabeth finds herself in a difficult situation, facing the desperate need for answers from the patient's parents and the hospital's relentless efforts to protect its reputation. As she tries to shield her colleague and herself from the consequences, the film delves into the ripple effects of a single human error.

Banks delivers a powerful dramatic performance as a surgeon unraveling under the pressure of her split-second decision. Director Christine Jeffs (Sunshine Cleaning) skillfully crafts a tense medical drama that resonates with the universal themes of accountability and the far-reaching consequences of our choices. With its gripping exploration of human fallibility and the search for forgiveness, A Mistake is a thought-provoking film that will leave audiences questioning the fragility of life and the weight of our actions.––Jarod Neece
