Allelujah (12A)
Dir. Richard Eyre, UK, 2022, 99 mins. Cast. Jennifer Saunders, Judi Dench, Russell Tovey.
The threatened closure of a geriatric ward in a small Yorkshire hospital stirs an uprising from the local community, who invite a news crew to film a concert in honour of the hospital’s most distinguished nurse. Based on the Alan Bennett play of the same name, this intelligent, heart-warming film serves as a plea to preserve the public institutions that care for our elders.
