Movie Reviews

Film Comment Magazine - 8/10 by Robert HortonThis excruciating story is absorbing for much of its running time, even if the sheer hideousness of the situation takes its toll
EmanuelLevy.Com - 7/10 by Emanuel LevyCrissy Rock renders the best, toughest performance by an actress this year in Loach's relentlessly grim, alomost too painful to watch drama about a woman who loses six of her children to the state's social service authorities--not for the squeamish.
User Review - 10/10 by Karen FA terrific bit of film making, gripping and powerful drama that pulls you in and doesn't let go, Gritty and raw it never once hides the pain and suffering and leaves you feeling both angry and deeply upset, with the events that unfold. Its not bold or flashy not quirky just observational realism at its best. difficult at times but engaging viewing well worth watching.
User Review - 10/10 by Pete Aacteurs geniaux, realisation delicate, film bouleversant.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UJust horrible, pathetic, tragic -- the sort of stuff that burned holes in my early twenty something heart
User Review - 10/10 by David MA very painful story, I cried so much, but that s Ken Loach!
User Review - 10/10 by Gordon Schrist when the social services "steal" the baby I felt physically sick the world is a better place for Ken Loach
User Review - 10/10 by Helen FI saw this movie years ago - a friend and I were meant to go to dinner after seeing this but alas, we had no appetite for food after watching this. This is a disturbing film and one that pushes your emotions between feeling anger at - & sorry for Crissy Rock's character. The performances were brilliant.
User Review - 10/10 by Angela LThis movie is such a tear-jerker.. I cried through most of it. Its tragic that people have to live this nightmare. She was human not Superhuman there were gonna be issues, but the gov't wouldn't leave her alone because of an abusive relationship that ended. Tearful, Tragic and very upsetting but Crissy Rock played her part like a glove.
User Review - 10/10 by Eric AOne of the most traumatic films I've seen, gut wrenching and brilliant..
