  Yeah man this was fucking devastating. Jodie Comer is sensational, Stephen Graham is incredible, that 26 minute one take was one of the most harrowing things I’ve watched and Jodie’s final monologue was so powerful. These experiences needed to be highlighted. 

  FUCK THE FUCKING TORIES.

  With devastating performances paired by haunting and claustrophobic music that evokes a sense of danger, urgency and compassion. This movie will make you remember all those moments you didn't wash your hands properly, as well as your privileged life and what have you done so far in these trying times. I was angry, sad, hopeful, and by the end of the movie, just plain helpless.

  "This job is about treating people with dignity."

  Jodie Comer and Stephen Graham star in this hard hitting and very current drama about a fictional Liverpool care home and the fallout during the first Covid wave.

An utter chameleon of an actor, and near impossible to pigeonhole (so far), this very much represents a career best for Comer. She delivers an incredible performance as the conscientious careworker emotionally broken by the huge demands of a fast moving, wildly unpredictable, life or death situation. Having friends who work in the sector,…

  definitely a film with a strong message, powerfully bodied performance, and skilled direction. im also a sucker for long one-take shots, hence the half hour single take really made me applaud the processes & effort being exerted by all the people behind this.

  Help is a stomach churning flashback to 2020 and the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic.

  The story follows care worker Sarah as she begins her career as a rookie member of staff. She quickly forms a bond with Alzheimer’s patient Tony, played by Stephen Graham. Unfortunately she has begun work at a time when a strange new disease is beginning to ravage the UK, and an indifferent government is woefully unprepared for the crisis.

  The dramatic irony is thick as characters assume that the virus will be stopped by a few additional safety measures or that PPE will quickly become available for everyone. The film’s political message is clearly aimed at the Conservative government and its terrible mishandling of…

  That 26 minute take is gut wrenching.
