Review of Help

Help (2021 TV Movie)
9/10
Is there any hope of Help?
5 October 2021
There appears quite few low ratings of Help by either people who didn't like the second act to the end, well it is a drama and I thought the second half brought it out well, no matter.

The other half of low raters are the ones who still don't believe Covid was a 'thing' btw it still is! It's shocking how many people died and how many walked around saying it was a hoax. Low on brains, certainly, selfish as it upsets there routines.

The film (a chan4 film) nothing to do with Hollywood, brings attention to the lies that the government told the nation in March 2020 concerning the help they were providing to care homes across the UK.

Reality was the Help (as seen here) didn't come until thousands of vulnerable people in care homes started dying from covid, finally, the government got the PPE (masks, gowns, gloves, anti-viral creams/drugs etc) to them, much to late. The 2nd item the film highlights is the miserable low wage that healthcare workers are paid, a almost thankless task relative to the Nhs Nurses, that the government year after year ignore but decide to thank them with universal aproved claps from the public, (yep! They did this) rather than provide them a good living wage.

The Film was made well & executed and directed with emotion & expertise, Jodie Comers role as the female care helper provided a convincing and powerful performance, co-star Stephen Grahman, by all rights is a Hollywood name on the grow but still loves to perform in gritty UK film & drama (and what a loss to us if he didn't) turned over another epic performance of a younger man with early on set dementia, a awful condition that usually strikes at old age, made all the more worse for younger people and families to cope with as it effects the persons mind and he or she's abilities to cope, without round the clock help.

This film shows what Brits do best, good quality down to earth, gritty and thoughful drama, Help no one is coming is a film everyone should see.
