    Needs to be seen twice

    A working class girls sings Brittany with her friends and talks excitedly about her life as she walks along the canal. However her story hints at hurts that go deeper than her talk suggest.

    This short won the 2001 Bafta for best short film and was director Percival's first film after many years in commercials. The film starts with a well framed shot of the girl singing and dancing to a Brittany Spears song before going straight into a montage of her talking, hanging out with her Dad, on a bus with her friends etc. As it goes this is entertaining enough and quite interesting. The only weakness of it is that it feels like mix of two Fast Show characters – the `Brilliant' guy and the teenage girl.

    However this is a minor complaint as the ending reveals the meaning behind much of her talk and the scenes we see. This really needs to be seen twice or followed by some thought to appreciate the significance of what has gone before the ending.

    Thewlis is excellent. Managing to hold the screen well and be totally believable in the role. To one who is annoyed by loud teenagers singing pop songs on buses she did well to win me over.

    Overall this is not an easy film to think about and does have a scene that many people will find upsetting (if only temporarily). While it feels aimless for most of your first viewing, a good performance by Thewlis is more than enough to hold the attention.

    Devastating portrait of a young girl and her doomed life.

    Shocking short-film about a young girl who's the product of a broken home and hopeless dreams of being a pop star. Her dad is unemployed and spends his time playing soccer while her mom struggles to make end meet.

    One striking feature of this film was the contrast by the girl's fully Americanized rendering of the pop lyrics she sings and the thick Liverpool accent that she uses in everyday speech. (It required me to put on subtitles to understand what was being said)

    As sad as the life that she describes is, I was still totally unprepared for the ending.

    Found this impressive gem back after 16 years..

    I remember seeing this short film on television in 2001. The monologue was fast and in a dialect that I as a Dutchman could hardly follow. But the intensity and the atmosphere caught me right away. The twist at the and blew me away. Because I was distracted, I did not take note of the title or the origin of the movie, so I lost track of it. Now, 16 years later, I finally succeeded in finding the movie back through google, wikipedia and youtube. And again it hits me. Timeless and poignant drama, played by a gifted young actress..

    Harrowing

    Depicting the life of a young teenage girl in a wasteland-esque urban British estate. With towering blocks of flats looming over the setting and the disadvantaged, awful circumstances that encase the girl the twist and the execution is brilliant, a truly grim end it's a great commentary on a modern society and some of its less glamorous issues
    info-1094

    Humourous, touching and shocking portrait of the life of a working-class teenage girl in northern England.

    This is a film that really makes you think about our culture and our society today.

    We learn about the life of the Girl as she talks about her hopes, dreams and experiences.

    Nothing will prepare you for the very shocking ending. It really is like a slap in the face! Or a wake up call...

    An excellent piece of writing, directing and acting.
