They Call Me Dr. Miami

About This Movie

They Call Me Dr. Miami dives into the bizarre world of social media and plastic surgery. It captures the daily life of Dr. Michael Salzhauer, who’s gained a cult following through live-streaming surgery, which is kind of a double-edged sword. The pacing is frantic, reflecting the rapid-fire nature of social media, and you really get a sense of the almost surreal atmosphere of the operating room. The patients, dubbed 'beauty warriors,' are a mixed bag—some seem genuinely empowered, while others reveal deeper insecurities. It's a raw look at body image in the digital age, and the practical effects during surgeries are graphic but fascinating. The film, albeit a bit unpolished in structure, challenges viewers to consider the lengths people go for beauty.
