Featured reviews
This is your average BBC TV movie of the 1990s and 2000s that is so badly done so as to make little sense. The editing is all over the place, the timeline fluid to the point where the viewer is jerked back and forth. While the message of the movie is an important one, and the story sad, the poor quality production makes a mockery of both! Low budget productions can often be good.....this is horrible!

This movie is very difficult to watch, but it ought to be seen by everyone. It's hard to believe such evil people exist, that would treat kids like this. But they do. And the rest of us, the society, we fail in helping the abused because we don't want to know what's going on. The acting is very good in general, but Macintosh is simply brilliant!
Will there be please coming an end to hyping movies that are dealing about social conflicts or other human disasters? Okay "Care" is about childabuse, "Care" is about perverts misusing boys in a school and how disgusting it might be, if it's a movie with a poor script and made with bad playing actors then it stays a bad movie. "Care" is a movie that could have been, but is it because it was a tvmovie I don't know but everything seemed so limited that it comes over as some cheap movie that will be seen by some housewifes and fathers who decide not to go to bed. There are so many unanswered things in this movie...the relation with his mother for instance or the death of some abused boy from which we know nothing more. "Care" should have been much much better.

This movie is a must see for anyone who appreciates no-bulls**t straight to the point story-telling and great acting. An unbelievable performance by Steven Macintosh who is IMHO one of the best British actors. Hollywood should take lessons out of British movies and tv-series. One of the best things ever seen on television!
I watched this film for the first time on Polish TV last night, and it blew me away.
I've been an admirer of Steven Mackintosh's performances for many years, but this is his tour-de-force.
Like many people director Antonia Bird caught my attention in 1994 when Bird was premiered at the Edinburgh Film Festival.
Together Bird and Mackintosh, well supported by an excellent cast, create a harrowing, shocking and nerve-shattering drama that only us Brits could make with such brutal honesty.
Well done all of you involved. 10/10
