A brilliant film that helped define a genre
How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.
View MoreI recorded this because Maxine Peake was in it and was so glad I did. It is a well written and plotted piece of work which was constantly surprising us by it's twists and turns. The cast is small but excellent and it is gripping to the even more surprising end. Maxine Peake is one of Britains best actresses and I have yet to see her in anything less than excellent.
View MoreMaxine Peake is a go getting but brittle career woman who is severely put out when she is passed over a promotion. When she goes back to her flat she takes her frustrations out on her Polish cleaner and accidentally kills her with her champagne bottle but then discovers the cleaning lady's baby in the car.As she tries to cover her tracks and get rid of the body she realises that she might had got caught on CCTV. This is when a slimy security guard enters her life demanding money from her with menace.This is a doom laden film with plenty of London Docklands location shooting, many unlikeable characters, little plausibility and plot contrivances. This low budget movie comes across more as a gritty television film.Peake mellows as she cares for the baby and becomes attached to it and in the end she will do anything to keep the baby safe.
View MoreI'll just start by saying that this movie is not for the average viewer, and if you are the superficial type, always in search of a simple and comfortable state of mind, then this movie is probably not for you. A certain depth is required to understand that this is real life, and real life is not the one that the every day irresponsible or the ignorant happy-go-lucky type believes it to be.Without giving away any specific details, it's a moving and intense story with well developed characters. It's also an atmospheric experience, dark and sad, but real and, quite frankly, I am surprised it got such a low score. Most probably people don't get this movie and then there are those who get it and are so terrified of the clarity with which this movie paints the horrible way life can spin out of control that they rate it low.Make no mistake, this movie is good and it is clearly underrated. It delivers what it promises and it does so beautifully. Life is more often like this than the ignorant bliss people want it to be. My views may be seen as somewhat cynical. If that's the label some people put on seeing reality for what it is, then I'll take pride in being labeled as such and being taken away by good movies like this one from idiocy painted in pretty pictures.I highly recommend it and I'm sure this one will stay with me.
View MoreDon't bother watching this movie - it contains only pain and has a terrible ending. I wouldn't mind if this movie actually contained some form of redemption. As it is, all that happens is that things go from bad to worse, with no hope of anything getting better. It contains characters that are either heartless, hopeless, or both combined. Clearly the family that these two women grew up in had no capability for sensitivity or compassion, and the movie doesn't address this lack in any constructive way. I also don't believe a storyline where no one who knew the dead cleaning lady reported her absence, and the fact that she worked as a cleaning lady for the main character. If even only one person had reported her absence, there would be a strong likelihood that the police would have been involved early on, and would have been led straight to the scene of the crime.
