About This Movie

Disability Benefits is an intriguing blend of comedy and drama that flips the script on societal norms. The pacing is quite interesting, moving from light-hearted moments to some darker themes as our protagonist navigates her life after redundancy. This young woman with cerebral palsy dives into the underground world of drug dealing, which is both a desperate act and a form of empowerment. The tone strikes a balance between humorous and poignant, making you smile while also reflecting on the harsh realities of life. The performances, especially from the lead, bring a raw authenticity that is somewhat rare in TV movies. It's distinctive for how it tackles serious issues while still keeping a sense of levity, making for a unique viewing experience.
