Stars: Georgia Conlan, Dean Kilbey, Ian Laing, Jennifer K Preston, Angel-May Webb, Kate Spencer, Keith French, Charlotte Monkhouse, Alexander Harriss | Written by Georgia Conlan, Martin Hardwicke | Directed by Georgia Conlan
After running away from home, twelve-year-old Charlotte (Georgia Conlan) finds herself outside the home of Roy (Dean Kilbey), an older man who invites Charlotte to stay overnight.
This is the premise of Georgia Conlan’s directorial debut (which she also co-wrote and stars in) that attempts to grapple with the theme of child sexual exploitation, a very real societal issue. What started with beautiful cinematography and an exciting opening scene was undone by the creative choices that, regrettably, Conlan’s Charlotte incorporated.
Ultimately, Charlotte does not contribute to the national dialogue on this sensitive and serious issue. Conlan is a talented performer, but her role as director left much to be desired. Clearly, her focus was on showcasing her acting...
