Newly arrived on a Burnley housing estate is twelve-year-old Chloe, who, with her alcoholic single mother and abusive older brother, has been re-housed for the umpteenth time. When Chloe finds a kindred spirit in Lee, a young boy with a similarly dysfunctional family, she sees an opportunity to escape from her mother and brother.

BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
