Winnie is ten. Winnie is in trouble at school. Winnie can get violent but only when the other kids disrespect her. Winnie is sensitive but she is unable to express her emotions. Winnie is a little traveler girl. She lives in a trailer in the docks area of Dublin with her mother and a few of her nine brothers and sisters. Her father is away, dead or gone. Everyday life is hard, all the more as the council authorities are intent on evicting them. But Winnie is resilient. Just like her combative mother she survives day after day, holds on, keeps hoping without even being aware of it...
Leave your thoughts about Pavee Lackeen: The Traveller Girl.
| Film4Anton BitelHere gritty realism meets a more poetic symbolism to expose Winnie's marginalised status without ever resorting to sentiment, preaching or indeed cliché. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA harrowing film portrait of a ten-year old Irish Traveller whose life is constricted by poverty and prejudice. |
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezIt's the complete opposite of Bresson's Mouchette and the Dardennes' Rosetta: a not-so-dense or musky fog that's easily parted and forgotten. |
| User ReviewStefanie FInsightful and moving. With no coherent plot, it won't be for a lot of people, but for those that enjoy realism and a human element, it's one of the best out there. |
| User ReviewRichard KWe would drive passed the caravans everyday on the way to work. Didn´t notice a thing until we saw this film. |
| User ReviewPrivate UI love this movie..and I'm not quite sure why. I love the actors, especially Winnie, she is superb. I love the realism. Great watch. |
| User ReviewIan WA bleak story of "Travellers" lives with a good documentary style which keeps it gritty. |
| User ReviewJean-Francois V"Pavee Lackeen" ("traveller girl" in their dialect) is a slice-of-life docudrama that gives an inside view of the Traveller community by following the day-to-day activities of a mostly female family living in a trailer on the outskirts of Dublin, and particularly those of ten-year-old Winnie, who doesn't know much about anything (Russia and "education" have to be explained to her, and she has no idea what year or day she was born, she only knows what month), has trouble fitting in school, and spends her life wandering about, talking to shop owners, occasionally stealing from them, rummaging for clothes in junkyards, fighting with other kids, inhaling intoxicants and fetching water for mum's tea or gas for the power generator. Having already seen the episode of the British documentary series "What Happened Next?" devoted to the traveller community ("They Steal Children, Don't They?"), I already knew much of what "Pavee Lackeen" has to say about the subject. And having seen "Children Underground", I also had a similar but much more powerful documentary to compare it to in terms of emotional impact. But I did find the experience enlightening, and I was impressed by the way the film makes you see the world from the point of view of the travellers. When Winnie looks through a shop window at a woman trying on a wedding dress, what she sees feels about as alien to you as it does to her, like some unreal scene from a fantasy world. I did not find the film depressing, perhaps because apart from the drug sniffing, the kids do not live wholly dysfunctional lives. The mother is a decent person (well, apart from the smoking and drinking), and Winnie has at least integrated the garbled Catholic values of her community, including a healthy fear of hell and sense of modesty and purity. I would rather have grown up in such an environment than be the spoilt kid of some architect of the culture of death like Obama. Moreover, Winnie is tough, curious and resourceful, even though she looks a bit dazed and suffers from exposure to modern cultural trash. You get the feeling that she will make something of her life, just like Winnie the real girl who, after all, has just made an impressive debut as an actress. If you decide to watch this film, I suggest you look for a subtitled copy, because the Irish accent renders much of the dialogue incomprehensible, at least to a foreigner like me. |
| User ReviewLee MOstensibly, gritty realism meets a more poetic symbolism to expose Winnie's marginalised status without ever resorting to sentiment, preaching or indeed cliche. But comes across as more faux documentary than real drama. |
| User ReviewLeo SYou've never heard of this have you? Lucky fucking you. It's a docudrama of such mind-pulverising tedium that time not only seems to stop when you watch it but to fold back in on itself creating a hellish space of perpetual and seemingly unending torment and, dear God, it'sonly 87 minutes long. |
