Plot
A girl is pressured by her parents and treated by a psychiatrist.
Sinekatalog’s take
Ken Loach's harrowing drama follows a young woman crushed by her parents and then treated by a cold psychiatrist. Sandy Ratcliff is devastating in a bleak, angry film about conformity, family and the cost of 'normal'.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
