U.K. director Jan Dunn's debut feature is shot in the Dogme style, which uses an all-natural method of shooting that abstains from professional lighting, non-diagetic music, or any action that couldn't really happen. The result is a humanistic, affecting tale of a working-class family stuck in a destructive rut; Helen (Pauline McLynn) and Paul (Paul McGann) are unhappy with their lives but unable to change. When their daughter brings home a young Czech Romany woman (Chloe Sirene), Paul reacts with prejudice and disdain, while the young woman breathes new life into Helen's existence. [More]

Tells a complex story from three perspectives, and has something important to say about one of the UK's hottest topics.

The film is brilliantly acted ... [Pauline] McLynn, in particular, is fantastic, whilst [Chloe] Serene (who's actually English) is something of a revelation.

Give a small group of excellent actors a tightly wound story, give them the freedom to improvise and run around a bit, and then stay out of their way. The results can be powerful
