Stephen K Jun 9 Excellent film that demonstrates the very serious nursing shortage world wide and the extreme pressure nurses are under today to provide care to all the patients they are assigned on a given shift. See more Rubn C @RT14100738 Jul 26 Late Shift is a masterful cinematic achievement that offers an uncompromising, high-fidelity portrayal of the systemic pressures and emotional labor endured by nursing professionals and healthcare workers. Far from melodrama, the film functions as a nuanced, sublime examination of the clinical ecosystem, shedding a necessary light on the exhausting realities of modern healthcare. It serves as an essential cultural and educational bridge, allowing patients and society at large to fully comprehend the immense sacrifices and dedication required in this vital profession. A brilliant, meticulously crafted piece of filmmaking. An exceptional piece of work that commands the utmost respect and highest praise.

See more 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 Read all reviews
