Love it love it what a brilliant movie. I can't act but if I could I would want to be in this movie. Really well put together with a great plot. A definite watch if you are looking for a really good movie.
Swaylee is an excellent actor and director
What a man Swaylee is to Act and direct this excellent feature film.
The drone shots, the locations, the musical score all wonderful. A massive cast of the best British talent around and lovely scenes in the Mercury mall in Essex.
Romford has been put on the map thanks to the worldwide success of Mother's Child now a yearly fixture on most people's calendar on Mother's Day. My own mother loves it. What a powerful performance by lead actress Sarah Amanda Haugh in her feature film debut and what can I say about Swaylee? Handsome and a pleasure to watch him.
Lovely co stars like Clarke Tribe and Sammy Simmans who played their roles brilliantly too.
Swaylee really pulled off something great with this film. It has done so well around the world and I'm really not surprised as it's a really great watch.
Nice performance by Paul Gardner, the park scene being my favourite scene. I also love the scenes in Swaylee's montage as it's like watching one of those 80's classics. It made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. A compelling film.

At the start this movie seems like it will flow and be a nice smooth calm movie, however it exceeded my expectations beyond. The movie turned in to such a powerful and emotional rollercoaster.
I love the scene in Joe's place in the Mercury mall it was fantastic it was lovely to see such a fantastic scene in the movie. It was played so well by the actors involved also how wonderful that this film went to the Cannes film festival what a great achievement for the filmmakers. Lovely shots of Romford in this awesome film my home town never looked so good it's such a great town with great people including the guy who runs the Romford film festival it was great seeing that this film did so well at the festival and went on to sell over 10 million DVDs and Blu rays at Amazon and wallmart and HMV and Tesco and Asda Swaylee really is a genius and a legend. He is the king of filmmaking in Romford Essex as no other film made there has ever done so well around the world.
