Gobstopper

Her performance, as alcoholic mother of two girls, in past with some problems about law, helped by daughter in embarassing moments, loving them in intense manner ( the bite is one of obvious proves ) is the axis of this melancholic short film about bitter reality, responsability of young girls and a slice of Manchester life.

A seductive story for its high realism and for fair acting. Not special, not original but exploring, in precise terms, the reality defining simple lives , easy ignored or minimalized fights and precious happiness moments ( the scene of bath ).

In short, useful and wise crafted , with nice touch of tenderness.
