Two for Joy

A brilliant performance from Samantha Morton in this early Shane Meadows-esque masterpiece.

I'm a big fan of films focussing on social issues, and really enjoyed this. There's nothing to laugh at... it's pretty bleak in all honesty. It reminded me of caravaning holidays as a kid in the 70s and 80s.

The cast is great, but it's the kids that steal the show, Troy in particular is brilliant.

It's not for everyone, but give it a chance.

Usually i love these types of film but i found this underwhelming. I was hoping that it would be similar to the great Jellyfish.Please ignore all those reviews with high marks they led me here,do not make the same mistake.This is full of unlikeable characters who i could not care a toss about except maybe the eldest daughter played by Emilia Jones

A moving and persuasive story of a family facing tragedy & calamity. Visually distinctive. Restrained but powerful acting, including by young actors as well as name-catching character-acting stars (in UK at least). Although a mostly unrelenting grey-setting, rain-miserable British "social realist" film (as the critics have it) it is refreshing in its lack of cliche, and ultimate hints of family change. A film to talk over, that leaves you thoughtful, without beating you over the head, and with a head full of striking visual images.

Beautifully raw storyline and shot beautifully. Incredible debut.
