Help

Help (2021) is a British drama you can watch online on iFILM, led by Jodie Comer and Stephen Graham. A Liverpool care home, spring 2020.

Sarah has finally found work that fits her. She's a carer with a rare gift for reaching the residents, especially Tony, a man living with early-onset Alzheimer's. Then the virus arrives. Wards fill up, the ambulances stop coming, management goes silent, and one night shift becomes something Sarah will never be able to unsee.

Director Marc Munden refuses to play the pandemic as background news; the film's spine is a near-ten-minute unbroken take that Comer carries with almost no cuts — the performance that won her a BAFTA. It's a furious, unsentimental account of how the system abandoned the people least able to fight back. Stream Help (2021) online on iFILM.
