What powerful acting and powerful storyline, the actors must have had to do some good research and they really gave powerful performances. If a movie leaves you thinking about it a week later you know it is good.

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.
LEGENDARY FILM
What a film I was on the edge of my seat the whole way through I don't think I've ever seen a film like it , love the huge part Joe played in it and Dave boy as an ex gangster myself it's nice to see gangsters in this film playing roles in a drama for a change .
Clarkey did a lovely job as the cheeky chappie and Sarah smashed it as lead actress in her role as Mandy this woman is a future Oscar winner I could not take my eyes off her.
Lovely to see Paul acting in it and Christian Davidson editing what a great team of talent all of them legends in the film game it's a top film.
