A small hospital, The Bethlehem, affectionately known as The Beth is set to close, another victim of rationalisation, all efforts are made to keep it going.
I was expecting a fluffy, heart warming comedy, something along the lines of The Marigold Hotel, in reality it's a million miles away. The film does have some humorous moments, and some witty one liners, mainly coming from Derek Jacobi, but it takes a serious turn.
That twist, oh my days, I didn't see that coming at all, talk about unexpected.
Jennifer's comedy partner, Dawn French starred in a BBC Screen Two drama some years ago, called Tender Living care, check it out, there are similarities.
It boasts a superb cast, the likes of Derek Jacobi, Judi Dench and David Bradley, they are all wonderful, for me though, it's Jennifer Saunders who stands out, it is a superb performance from her, showing real range.
There's definitely a bit of Tory bashing going on, as you'd expect from Bennett.
Genuinely, I think this is a truly excellent movie.
9/10.
