Movies at the Parish Hall – Allelujah

Movies at the Parish Hall – Allelujah

ALLELUJAH 12A (DRAMA)

Director: Richard Eyre with Judi Dench, Derek Jacobi and Jennifer Saunders.

Based on the play by Alan Bennett, Allelujah is a warm and deeply moving story about old age. When the geriatric ward in a small Yorkshire hospital is threatened with closure, the hospital decides to fight back by galvanizing the local community: they invite a news crew to film their preparations for a concert in honour of the hospital’s most distinguished nurse. What could go wrong?

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.

“This watchable, undemanding drama rolls along capably, enlivened by unmistakably Bennettian gags and drolleries which come along every minute or so.” The Guardian.

Licenced Bar.
