Description

Tim Roth delivers a tour-de-force performance in this riveting film that won the Best Screenplay award at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. David (Roth) is a highly skilled in-home nurse who works with terminally ill patients. Intensely dedicated and extremely compassionate, David develops intimate relationships with each person he cares for. But outside of work, David suffers the effects of chronic depression…and he needs his patients as much as they need him.

  • As bad as it gets

    Quite possibly the worst movie ever made. I could only stand fifteen minutes of it and gave up. Almost zero dialog. You're basically watching raw footage of a male nurse perform his daily duties. No story.

  • Well done indie film.

    Interesting, realistic (except he didn't wear latex gloves) and well done. This is the type of indie movie that I wish there were more of. Simple, queit, yet takes you away to another place, job, or situation that you may not have lived otherwise.

  • Ummm...

    Anyone who has ever dealt with the terminally ill as a heathcare provider can relate to this film. Very often the only joy one has comes from providing the ill with an easy transition from this life. Tim Roth plays the part quite realistically and with great empathy. Though it might be difficult for one unaccustomed to such situations, the film is worth seeing for the performances. I highly reccommend this work.
