The Unloved

Watched The Unloved in film club on wednesday. Originally shown on Channel Four in 2009 and directed by Samantha Morton it was nominated for three awards and won two others. The story follows Lucy as she copes with living in care after being left by her mother and abused by her father. The film was very moving and thought provoking, especially as it's filmed to almost tell the story through Lucy's eyes, and due to her youth and innocence this is incredibly effective.
