Vincent S @Vin_E_At_The_Movies Apr 29 Late Shift is a tense rollercoaster of emotions, and it sucks you in and doesn't let go from the first frame to the last. Leonie Benesch gives the best performance of 2026 so far and the direction by Petra Biondina Volpe is outstanding and masterful. See more danelectro T @danelectro Apr 2 One of the best films of 2026 I've seen thus far. It is a simple film condensing a 12 hour nursing shift into the movie's 90 minutes. Completely captivating without having a real story per se. It reminds us of one of the world's hardest professions that is also greatly underserved. The actor who plays the lead is terrific. The music works well with the tension within the film. You'll see it all: the ungrateful, stressed, patient, the appreciative one, the few moments available in which the nurse can just breathe and relax, she is constantly on the go. This film is a masterpiece in my view, you must see it. And if you are young enough, become a nurse too! See more George Z @Gzaver Jan 13 Swiss writer-director, Petra Volpe’s solid day-in-the-life work day of an overworked nurse in an understaffed Swiss hospital during the night shift. 
An immersive drama, that feels like a documentary. 
Starring a terrific Leonie Benesch, who I loved in (Teachers' Lounge) 
There is no back story, like HBOs excellent "The Pitt" series, it’s a slice of working life in a hospital. 
A love letter to nurses whose jobs are in short supply worldwide. John Lennon once sang, "A Working Class Hero is something to be. If you want to be a hero, well, just follow me." See more Lisbeth C @LizBeth25 Dec 27 The film recreates a sad reality and touches the heart! See more Fong Kok Hoong F @RT29722865 Dec 23 In German, the original title HELDIN means "heroine" and this Switzerland‘s Oscar submission for 98th Academy Awards is a heartfelt tribute to the overworked nurses in understaffed hospitals all over the world as the camera follows one of them on a regular working night as she attends to a marathon of responsibilities akin to navigating menacing circumstances in a thriller. See more Vince Q. @Vincedeq Nov 6 Starring Leonie Benesch. Taught, driving performance delivers the enormity of the responsibilities of the shift nurse. Benesch gives us a performance to rival her work in Babylon Berlin (2017) and The Teacher’s Lounge (2023), where she garnered the equivalent of a German Academy Award. See more Read all reviews
