Scott R @ScottR Nov 24 NYT 1000 movies list. A tough story based on social services in the UK taking away a lady’s children and the struggles she and her significant other faced. It could have been more effective had it not been so vulgar, but I expect that it was just to keep to the realistic aspect of the story. Saw on tubi.

Excellent performance given by Crissy Rock especially being her first acting role in my opinion should've been Oscar-nominated. Very touching and moving story of neglect ,child abuse and the manifestations it has on the walking wounded. Powerful gritty and at times very tender incredible British movie That is also hideously underrated and unknown See more 09/22/2020 Heavy, intense movie, excellent played! See more 05/03/2020 Okay, so that one critic on RT was right, sorta. Ken Loach can indeed be a miserablist at times. This one really put that over the top for me. What a miserable clusterfuck this thing is. No sympathy for this woman. Utter lack of sensible behavior; apparently no real efforts to improve her lot; bearing children she could never support like some breed hog; staying in an insanely abusive relationship which the kids were exposed to, which may in turn affect their own relationships later. Loach doesn't pull punches here, and Rock is great as a dimwitted slag. Seriously, do not let this be your first Loach movie. Watch Riff Raff or Raining Stones, or even Kes.
