Chicken (2015)
Directed by Joe
Stephenson this film based on a play by Freddie Machin stars Scott
Chambers, Morgan Watkins and Yasmin Paige. A 15 year old with
learning difficulties lives in a caravan in a rural setting with his
older brother who is struggling to make a life for the two of them.
Taking a simple coming
of age setting this turns into a heart breaking tale of the neglected
struggling in a world that they do not fully understand. I was really
impressed with how this film tackled a sensitive subject without
getting melodramatic. The cast give excellent performances in
difficult roles.
4/5
