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.
Swaylee has done an incredible job here to his credit. In both the direction and acting this has been carried out incredibly well. Thought encouraging scenes play out with regularity, every character has their place and a clear role to play in the story being told about adoption and family separation.
Deals with real life issues in confident and connecting style. The impressive talent of the up and coming actors in this film shines through in many moments. Considering the lower budget end it has a close to Hollywood feeling, all credit to the cast, crew and writers. Worth watching many times over!
