Vicky Knight does a good job here making you feel what it is like to literally lose your face. Screenplay and direction help her to create a character, that maintains its dark sides even when everything is ready for pure compassion. Not on the light side, but worth watching.
... especially if you're a young mother in suburbian UK, whose emotional damage is even more substantial than her physical damage. Nice acting performances in an documentary-like drama. And even though the plot is not very surprising, the eye for detail and overwhelming soundtrack make up for it.
The actress Vicky Knight was 8-year old when her body was burned to 30% consecutively to an arson. She has hidden her body for years and this film, suddenly, shows it tenfold. Thus, Dirty God (2019) is realized without any Computer-Generated Imagery and Vicky Knight shines and even radiates despite her environment devoid of empathy and full of morons. As for God, we're still looking for him...
Powerhouse debut performance from Vicky Knight and I hope we see more frome her in the future
Jade (Vicky Knight) is released from the hospital after suffering terrible burns by her baby daddy. She struggles to renew her life. She cannot accept her scars as permanent. She is desperate to get plastic surgery. She saves up the money to pay for treatment in a Moroccan clinic.
This is my second movie with director Sacha Polak and Vicky Knight. Obviously, Vicky's look is very unique. She's a good actress, but her looks limit her roles. It's too bad. As her first feature, she really shows compelling work. This is missing the inciting incident. Unlike her second movie, it is more egregious since it could have been a simple acid attack. All in all, this is a terrific introduction.

- TriviaVicky Knight, who plays Jade, is a nurse in real life, and this is her first film. The scars on her body are real, the result of a fire in her home when she was 8 years old, which caused burns over 30% of her body. She later became a nurse in the same hospital where she was treated for her burns. For the movie, the real scars were slightly exaggerated.
