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.

Just watched this on All4. Very powerful and emotional drama highlighting the plight most care homes faced as the services collapsed because of high volume of calls and lack of preparedness scandously neglected by the authorities and Government with regards to updated safety procedures and availability of PPE equipment. The GOV (Matt Hancock) lied saying these care homes were being prioritised and kept in special bubbles, when in reality they were forgotten. Great acting by the legendary Stephen Graham and Jodie Comer. Made my heart sink watching this.

Just a powerful movie showing the situation in a elderly care house during covid outbreak. Been read news but can't imagine how brutal scenes it could be. All scenes are real I believed and painful when watching this. Good movie to bring is truth and reality. Real hero for what Sarah did and all nursing along.

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}

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.
