Based on Jo Brand's critically acclaimed novel of the same name, The More You Ignore Me is a warm, comedy drama focusing on the life of an unconventional family in 1980s rural England. The film focuses on Gina, a young mother, whose efforts to be a loving mother and wife are undermined by her declining mental health. Things deteriorate when she develops an obsession with the local weatherman, which leads to an admission to the nearby psychiatric hospital. Over the years, as she grows up, her daughter Alice struggles to relate to her heavily medicated mum, and causes chaos when she comes up with a plan to reconnect with her, which divides the family forever and leads to a moving climax. Set to the songs of The Smiths, The More You Ignore Me provides a sometimes stark, yet comical insight into life within this quirky household, whilst addressing mental health issues and their impact on the family.
Leave your thoughts about The More You Ignore Me.
| GuardianPeter BradshawIt is a bit rough around the edges at times, with some pretty broad dramatic effects, but the narrative motor keeps humming and the sheer force of sympathy drives it along. |
| The Mail on Sunday (UK)Matthew BondHunt is hugely watchable in the central role and Brand, adapting from her own novel, should be congratulated for stubbornly avoiding narrative convention. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Robbie CollinAn appealing, bittersweetly funny tale of a Morrissey-mad teenage girl whose life is regularly derailed by her mother's worsening mental state. |
| The ListEmma SimmondsThe way it interrogates and eventually embraces an unconventional female character and upends assumptions regarding mental illness is something to be celebrated. |
| Sunday Times (UK)Edward PorterKeith English's film of Jo Brand's novel has a typical Brit-flick kind of hokiness, and this limits the poignancy of the heroine's relationship with her mother. |
| User ReviewKeith EHeartwarming, laugh-out loud funny at times, and deeply emotional at others. Go see! |
