Help

I worked in a care home at covid time so I know what it was like and it was just like this show portrays Jodie Comer and Stephen Graham play their parts so well well done had me in tears going back to a time when the elderly was seriously let down.

A powerful film that shows the hard truth of how care homes were ignored and left to survive on their own.

Jodie Comer and Stephen Were phenomenal in their roles. The acting felt real. A true masterclass in acting and never sliding into over dramatic acting which I feel could have happened if they weren't these actors. Jodie and Stephen deserve all the awards.

Hard to watch but a must watch.

That one scene ( the night shift) that will stay with me for a long time.

I can't exaggerate enough over how well this film was put together. Not only mentioning the fact Jodie Comer has yet again done an amazing job with this role but her and Stephen Graham's chemistry really brought the characters to life and showed us what it was like having dementia and caring for someone with dementia. Trust me, it's not easy.

Working in home care myself, i have been in the middle of the struggles working through the pandemic. For those who don't understand why carers don't get much recognition, the main reasons are in this film. Not only did they mention facts at the end, but also the true emotion of the monologue at the very end makes you realise how bad it is within the care industry. You know it's about to get real when Jodie comer breaks the fourth wall.

This film is such an eye opener, i would recommend it for anyone. And thank you Jodie comer and Stephen graham on your performances, pure talent.

What a beautiful and heartbreaking portrayal. Jodie Comer is the actress of our generation. 💜

Wow! This drama is a little too close to the truth. As I watched it, in Canada, we are entering the 20th month of the pandemic and what they are now calling the 4th wave. The pandemic is now a new way of life but this movie takes us back to the ignorance of those initial months and, I confess, I cringed at every false move we watched play out and relived some of the trauma I underestimated when going through it. The story is tender and terrifying. The performances are brilliant. Jodie Comer deserves highest accolades and awards for her delivery (for those who have only seen her perform in borrowed accents, it will be a treat to hear her speak in her own native, Liverpudlian accent). For those viewing this in the UK, this seems to trigger political outrage, but, I think, worldwide, we were staggering in the dark and I'm not convinced any political party would have charted a better course. We simply didn't know and were ill prepared. I give this film a 9 (superb) out of 10. {Drama}
