Allelujah film review: a loving but unrealistic and ill-judged portrait of an NHS in crisis

A cast packed with British acting talent largely delivers, with Jennifer Saunders impressive in the role of Sister Gilpin, the geriatric ward’s cynical, world-weary chief nurse. Bally Gill is also endearing as Dr Valentine, a young doctor determined to preserve the hospital’s philosophy of “patients over profits”. Dame Judi Dench, however, is bizarrely underused in the role of Mary Moss, a patient tasked with filming the work of hospital staff on an iPad.
