Overview
In Margate, England, life is not easy for teenager Sarah Taylor, between being bullied at school, being exploited by a dominant boss and having to take care of her depressive mother and her two siblings. But Sarah finds a way to channel her growing despair and fight adversity when her drama teacher gives her a new purpose.
I’ve seen better in the coming-of-age-in-a-crappy area genre and I have seen worse. I think there was a certain honesty in the film’s final scenes that appealed to me (it didn’t feel like a film that should be wrapped up in a bow).
