D Y @Whetherbee Feb 24 mesmerizing train wreck you can’t look away from. mainly because of the director’s artistic sence creating atmospheric viniettes in every frame. Touchingly human and brutal. Reminded me of gummo. One of my favorite films. See more Alain E @AlainE Jan 25 Academy award in the category of sadomasochism. I have no idea why someone wanted to shoot this and why critics are enthusiastic about it. There are people who sexually abuse others. We should have realistic pictures about them as well. I tolerated 41 minutes See more isla s @RT89656869 09/04/2022 This film depicts a British working class family with poverty, neglect and depravation. Suffice to say, it's not the cheeriest watch. Its quite grim really and frustrating because its clear that certain people are taking advantage of others - there is an element of manipulation. There were some mildly amusing moments, believe it or not, involving the kids, although I did feel sorry for them too, frankly - certainly the younger ones. I suppose its a somewhat thoughtful watch, not one that will suit or appeal to, everyone but I'd say this is an ok watch, which yes, I'd cautiously recommend.

If you have seen Richard Billingham's photos of his family he took when growing up in a council hi rise block in Cradely Heath during the 80s and were fascinated by them, then this film brings those photos to life. I loved it but my wife couldn't finish watching it as felt it was too depressing.

The more I think about it the more it repulses me. Critics will tell you, "I do declare this was a lovely jaunt looking at the poor". Let me tell you this isn't respectful or generous or caring. It's another in the increasing long line of movies that culture the audience to punch down at the less fortunate of the world who would never watch a film like this in the first place. We're supposed to hate these people. We're supposed to be repulsed while feeling a certain sentimentality for the kids. When the movie isn't unflinchingly hideous, it's flat out boring. The final act could cure insomnia, not to mention we haven't developed any care from the characters on the screen. Disgusting. If you like slowing down to see people in pain on the side of the road this is right up your alley. Final Score: 1.8/10 See more Read all reviews
