    Thanks to Lorentzen's unobtrusive embedded presence within the ambulance, capturing a series of harrowing real-life vignettes, 'Midnight Family' reflects the present difficulties of blue-collar work and asks some alarming questions about the future of private healthcare. Try watching it at night, when you're too tired to do anything, but have just enough energy not to fall asleep.
