About this deal

If you are in the North America, look out for US/Canadian flag icons on popular product listings for direct links. Dench made headlines earlier this year after a letter she wrote was published in The Times, saying that each episode of The Crown should come with a disclaimer noting that it is a "fictional dramatisation".

Derek Jacobi is on sparkling form as a retired schoolmaster with a love for grammatical nitpicking; Dame Judi Dench’s retired librarian and marginalia enthusiast Mary is an underseen but delightful presence; while David Bradley’s curmudgeonly ex-miner Joe, whose gay Tory son ( Russell Tovey) just so happens to be responsible for determining The Beth’s future, is a study in subtlety, Joe's entrenched homophobia untangled in surprising ways over the film’s course. However, in the closing parts of the final act, a sudden jarring plot twist completely obliterates the established tone.

Allelujah celebrates the spirit of the elderly patients whilst paying tribute to the deep humanity of the medical staff battling with limited resources and ever-growing demand, based on a play by Alan Bennett. But there might be something more threatening to the hospital itself, more deadly than the politicians ready to shut down the place at a moment's notice. Stephen Frears, Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Lawrence films among Toronto galas, special presentations".

On paper, Allelujah sounds like — and has been very much marketed as — a ‘Clap For Carers’-esque proud paean to the NHS, housed within an ultimately crowd pleasing comedy-drama. While the juxtaposition of the twist and the saccharine goings-on in the rest of the film is shocking, it also makes the lead-up to the concluding thesis feel toothless and non-committal in comparison, imbuing it with something of an identity crisis that compromises the effectiveness of its noble message. Indeed, the closer the drama comes to our present times, the more freely it seems willing to blur the lines between historical accuracy and crude sensationalism. An exhausted, enraged Valentine leaves the hospital and breaks the fourth wall with an impassioned monologue in defence of the NHS.

Jam-packed with jokes about bedpans and the indignities of ageing, Eyre’s film lacks the needling sharpness of something like Jack Thorne’s scathing COVID drama Help, tip-toeing around the specifics of the NHS’ current crises until a powerful yet totally out-of-place pandemic set coda. Allelujah, Richard Eyre’s bewildering new adaptation of Alan Bennett’s play about an at-risk elderly ward in Yorkshire, starts with the kindly Dr Valentine (Bally Gill) espousing how he’s “always loved the old”. Allelujah celebrates the spirit of the elderly patients whilst paying tribute to the deep humanity of the medical staff battling with limited resources and ever-growing demand. sex There are occasional sex references and innuendo, including to promiscuity, foot fetishes, and very discreet references implying a man may have been a sex worker. 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 preparations for a concert in honour of the hospital’s most distinguished nurse.

When the geriatric ward in a small Yorkshire hospital is threatened with closure, the hospital decides to fight back by galvanising the local community: they invite a news crew to film their preparations for a concert in honour of the hospital's most distinguished nurse.
