Director: Lindy Heymann; Release date: 4 June
I found myself a little perplexed as to what to say about this film. Is it a coming of age film? A thriller? Or a comment on a celebrity-obsessed society and the brutal objectification facing young women?
The opening sequence is a beautiful depiction of Liverpool, a sequence so quiet it made me think my television might be broken. It's an understated study of quiet abandonment.
