Our take

Ramsay’s stunning follow-up to Ratcatcher is an enigmatic character study and unruly trip of self-discovery. Buoyed by Alwin Kuchler’s beautiful cinematography, a luminous Samantha Morton plays its defiant anti-heroine, who pulls herself out of a hopeless spot by taking matters into her own hands.
