Format:DVD
Extremely sad film so prepared to be depressed but excellently acted, and sadly how life can be sometimes. I wanted to take the little girl home from the start and take her out of that awful enviroment. I tend to judge a film as good on the emotions it can make you feel whether angry, sad or shocked and this film is pretty heartbreaking.Excellently done, my only advise would be is have something that will make you roar with laughter to follow as a pick me up!

Saw this on TV and wanted to watch it again. Very moving. How a child's point of view is constantly ignored by us adults. Thanks!

Format:DVD
This is a great film and the directoral debut of the highly talented actress, Samantha Morton. Drawing on her own experience, she follows the progress of a little girl through a series of encounters in a care home - some heartwarming, some disturbing. The story is told with great sympathy and understanding, the characters are unvarnished and true to life, the plot is raw and hard-hitting and the direction faultless. Highly recommended!

Was desperate for this to be better.
The acting in this film is unbelievable but to be honest in parts there didn't appear to be a lot happening. Read more

Good film
Good debut by actress Samantha Morton. This film is based on personal things that happened to Morton. It is a sad film, but prettty good.
