Mother and child relationships may sometimes be fraught in Daisy-May Hudson’s Lollipop, but one thing they don’t lack is love. And one thing you won’t want to have a lack of when you watch it is a packet of tissues as this is a story that is oiled by tears of various sorts. Her character study shows Molly (Posy Sterling) brushing up against the sharp edges of the English care system although Hudson’s main focus is on the emotional territory that Molly is struggling to cross.
The single mum has just been released from a four-month jail stint for reasons that are never specified. Her 11-year-old daughter Ava (Tegan-Mia Stanley Rhoads) and son Leo (Luke Howitt), five, were theoretically being cared for by her mum Sylvie (TerriAnn Cousins) while Molly did her time but in her absence they have been taken into foster care.
