The film in some ways reminded me of Precious, partially because of the apathetic parent that seems to have a hate for her teenage daughter. Also, in a few small ways for the interaction between the mother's boyfriend and the daughter. Katie Jarvis [you wouldn't know her from another film] plays Mia. A teenage girl in what looks like a English "projects," she gets in fights, drinks, smokes, and looks for a way out of her current situation.
The really don't want to spoil the plot of this film, but you question the intentions of the boyfriend from the start and your opinion of Mia will change several times.
I look forward to keeping an eye on Arnold's next project. As a side note, for a British film with a lot of slang I was surprised at how little trouble I had understand the dialogue. A problem I have been encountering on films like Kes lately.
