My Guardian Angel

A no-budget drama that takes an awfully long time to bring its supernatural undertones to the fore. Young Holly Jacobson gives an unexpectedly strong performance as the non-verbal autistic girl of abusive parents who appears to be haunted by her dead twin. Jacobson aside, the quality of the acting ranges from tolerable to pull-you-out-of-the-movie-and-slap-you-around-the-face bad and the lack of funds is apparent in every shot. The emotional pull of child abuse - even when inadequately explored - gives My Guardian Angel a kind of built-in emotional hold that is difficult to turn away from, but the pay-off really doesn't justify your time.

This British T. V movie is good in parts and the young girl is played very well, by a young actress. Some of the adult performances are hit and miss (at best). The story to its credit keeps you watching, where some much higher productions loose the interest.

Storyline could have had potential, but this film is just bad, apart from the kids, the acting was so bad it was totally cringy. Terrible, actually the worst acting I have ever seen, feel sorry for the girl to have been in a movie with such bad adult actors. The mother is just a bad panto actress, the storyline equally bad in parts. For example SEN teacher pretending to be headteacher on a phone call, the SEN teacher had a foreign accent. Later in the film she admits "I dont even sound like you!" Really??? Did they make this up as they went along? Was going to switch the film off half way through. I even though it was baddly dubbed in the beginning, but then realised these are English actors. Worst film I watched in a long time, very surprised some good rating on here....

I guess overall I'd rate this a 3.7 or so. But, OMG! The abuse her parents put the poor autistic girl through was terrible, but u just vouldnt look away! In the different abuse scenes? YOU BELIEVED IT! YOU WERE RIGHT THERE WITH HER EXPERIENCING THE PAIN AND TERROR!! Not since The Exorcist have I seen an actress hit her part dead on! Anybody that knows of an autistic xhild, can relate! Ms. HIill is going places in the acting biz!

Just seemed to drag on near the end....worth a watch
