Matt Roush says...
Director Matthew Heineman’s acclaimed documentary revisits the first four months of the pandemic in 2020, following health-care workers at New York’s Long Island Jewish Medical Centre in Queens, when the metropolis was at the epicenter of the crisis. With a verité approach, Heineman embeds with these doctors, nurses and patients, reminding us why so many of us spent months applauding their efforts out of our windows each night. They still deserve our gratitude.
