Plot: A young carer at a Liverpool care home forms a bond with a challenging patient struggling with young-onset Alzheimer’s disease. However, the horrifying circumstances of the outbreak of Covid-19 throw everything into disarray.
I am waiting to finally see this new film on my planner when I have the time for it.
Help was hard to watch but also brilliantly told.
Pros: This Covid-19 based film did a brilliant job showing the emotional struggle & stresses of taking care of vulnerable people in this one care home. The cinema work was so well done & great performances from Jodie Comer and Stephen Graham respectively.
Cons: None.
