'Ellen' is about the life of a 14 year old who lives in South East London.This film features Jessica Barden, Yasmin Monet Prince and Jaime Winstone and was directed by Mahalia Belo.
Ellen (played by Jessica Barden) is shown to be a trouble maker who struggles to fit in society. She befriends a girl called Kayla (played by Yasmin Monet Prince) who understands her and they become close. Together, they hang out frequently, going through mischief with Ellen's mum (played by Jaime Winstone) boyfriend and Elllen developing a crush on an older friend called Jason.
This film starts with a philosophical thought "If a tree falls in a forest" which reflects on the events that take place later on within the film. Unfortunately, 'Ellen' lacked the dramatic side of the film and only reflected on Ellen being 'mouthy' and troublesome. On the other hand, it did highlight important topics which are not really spoken about in the Media which might attract the likes of parents, teachers and etc.
