New Showbiz Analysis

Get Help offers a modern look at interpersonal dynamics, primarily through the lens of gendered roles. By centering on a female professional navigating a sudden personal crisis, the film avoids many tired romantic comedy clichés. However, the film remains limited in its breadth of representation. The narrative appears culturally homogeneous and lacks explicit LGBTQ+ characters or diverse racial casting, keeping the overall score moderate. Ultimately, the film succeeds in exploring psychological complexity and the deconstruction of traditional relationship structures, even if it stays within a relatively narrow demographic scope.

Official Synopsis

Sandra, a young Psychology graduate, has just been hired by the famous online psychotherapy site FATTIVEDERE.COM. But when she returns home to tell everything to Stefano, her boyfriend with whom she has been happily cohabiting for 10 years, she finds him with his suitcases in his hands. He is dumping her without giving her an explanation. Sandra goes into total crisis because she demands to know why she has been left. Paradoxically, during her first day at work, she realizes not only that a website bug has given her the identity and photo of a sprightly 70-year-old woman, but also that one of her first patients is her ex. She is in time to switch off the webcam so as not to be recognized and, disguising her voice, she pretends to be the elderly psychotherapist...
