Katie Jarvis, Kierston Wareing, Michael Fassbender, Rebecca Griffiths, Harry Treadaway
Red Road director Andrea Arnold triumphs again with an intense and surprising story of love, lust and family.
Fifteen-year-old Mia (Katie Jarvis) is at war with everything: her family, her school, the girls on her estate. Her one release is dancing, a passion that she practices in secret. Things change when her mother (Kierston Wareing) introduces charismatic new boyfriend Connor (Hunger star Michael Fassbender) – but Arnold’s subtle and unpredictable script keeps us guessing as to just what influence the newcomer will bring to bear.
