Imogen Poots plays a young , poor, submissive mother who gets influenced by her selfish and abusive boyfriend. He uses her and her son to make a buck regardless of morals. If you don't get this low dialog film it may be that you have not lived or seen people living on the lower edge of society. It's gritty & the relationships are edgey & raw. A good watch.

This is a very well crafted film with compelling performances all the way around. Imogen is once again outstanding.

We see a single mother, her 8 year old son and her criminal boyfriend in a random and aimless series of scams and hustles. The mother found her way here by a series of terrible life choices that are just beginning to have dire consequences for her son who has reached the age for first grade. Her relationship with her boyfriend is simply toxic. He has started to involve the child in his criminal endeavors.

The film begs the question, can she turn her and her son's lives around when presented with a good opportunity? Its easy to judge these characters harshly, especially the mother. If that's all one gets from this then one is missing a lot.

Immogen Poots is a decent actress and a beautiful girl but here she has a character that jst isn't very likable.

The story itself is a cautionary tale but too bad no one is listening because it has been played before and and is a common one in real life. I have seen it play out in front of my eyes but when I saw it the SOB, worthless, abusive boyfriend was the 40 something year old guy with his own family business and the person that tried to help was the broke one with nothing. At least in that case the girl had an ex-husband that could take the kid.

I give it a six because the acting was not bad but the end was rdiculous and the main character herself is just not very likable at all. It's hard to watch a movie where you just want to scream, "You're a ridiculous human," the whole time unless you are watching "The View" which is unwatchable anyway.

I tried to like this movie, but so much of it is so contrived an unbelievable. The characters are not likeable, they make horrible life choices and seem intent on messing up anything in their life that may seem good or normal. I actually have known people in life who made horrible decisions and were in similar situations as the characters in this movie, they did things differently and for different reasons. But their horrible choice made a kind of sense, in this movie so much is nonsensical.

The ending is a disaster. I couldn't imagine a worse ending for this film. Sad and tragic should be the plotline, not the movie itself.

This film tells the story of a woman with a young son and a irresponsible boyfriend. They drift around because they have no money.

The story is slow, and it is not very engaging. They seem to leave a trail of destruction wherever they go, and I just cannot feel for the family. It is hard to feel sorry for the woman because she just can't change her ways, for example she even has to keep stealing little items from the guy who helps her.
