isla s 09/03/2022 This was a very thought provoking piece of social commentary. It features a variety of characters with different backgrounds and I found myself respecting Nigel, the teacher who tries to keep the refugees hopes and spirits up, despite the attitudes of other local people around them. He seems a very compassionate person and I think Toby Jones portrayed him very well. However, I found myself questioning the likelihood of some events to take place in terms of school organised trips and things, which seemed a bit of an obvious risk to me but otherwise it was a very good film - I liked that the various foreign characters are made to seem very human. This would be a good film to see if you wanted to discuss the plight of refugees from elsewhere coming in to the UK. Its heart breaking the way so much seems to come down to a seeming lottery in terms of whether people will be allowed to stay in Britain indefinitely. I would recommend this film.

See more 03/08/2016 An insightful and disparaging drama around the immigration system and lives of those involved with it. See more 06/20/2015 I loved this film - engaging and insightful. A real pleasure. See more 06/01/2015 A very TV feel movie but with some great performances from unknown actors. Its about the cases of immigrant teens and how they fight to stay in the Uk rather than return to their dire lives at home. Important and interesting and nice to see Toby Jones in yet another amazing role. Some tales are heartbreaking See more 09/19/2014 A very touching and thought-provoking movie that is stuck in my mind for days after I saw it. A need to see. See more Read all reviews
