| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohThis film might have actually been rather affecting if only one could understand what the hell the characters were saying. |
| User ReviewMeagan KGreat movie, seen it a million times. Hans Mathieson is HOT! |
| User ReviewKerry JGritty and insightful. Kelly Macdonald in another intense performance. The haunting music by PJ Harvey, and message of this bleak tale leave a lasting impression... which is what makes it such a brave movie. |
| User ReviewJames MTeen runaway Stella (Kelly MacDonald) finds camaraderie in London among the stable of hookers run by her sly pimp, Mr. Peters (James Bolam). When one of her friends is abused by a thug, Stella attempts to escape her cruel life and start anew. Good movie on a disturbing subject. |
| User ReviewRebecca OA fantastic film, Kelly Macdonald is fantastic in this, I felt so depressed after watching, but still enjoyed it anyway! I recommend this to anyone (no kids ofcourse)... |
| User ReviewSamantha SSome hard hitting scenes and good acting from the cast but the over all narrative wasn't as compelling as the characters needed. |
| User ReviewJerome CPretty good effort. But somehow unsatisfying. The performances are excellent, but sadly they seem to make more of an impact than the characters. I would have preferred the other way round. |
| User ReviewNadine OReally hard going. Really. Made me cry. Strong performances and script on a very difficult subject. Worth a watch if you can handle the theme. |
