When the geriatric ward in a small Yorkshire hospital is threatened with closure, the hospital decides to fight back. 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.

Critics Reviews:

• “On the whole the performances of an interesting cast are excellent, but the film seems uncertain as to what kind of movie it actually is. Not having seen the play I can’t tell if this ambivalence has been carried over from the stage.” – David Stratton (The Australian)

• “The best thing about the screenplay is its lack of condescension. The hard truths that go with ageing are not glossed over and the shortcomings in Britain’s health service get a pasting.” – Sandra Hall (Sydney Morning Herald)

• “The writing is still excellent, but the play is transformed into cinema the same way some luckless souls experience hospital. It comes out in worse shape than when it went in.” – Danny Leigh (Financial Times)
