British writer and director Andrea Arnold returned to the official competition with her second feature which proves she's on the right track to greatness. An unflinching look into the life of a teenager who's trapped into her white trash environment like a fish in a tank without any hope. She clashes with everybody from her mother to the girls in the neighborhood. The only thing that keeps her sane is to dance in an abandoned apartment or trying to save an abused horse. Mia's life takes a dramatic turn when she finds herself infatuated with her mom's new boyfriend Connor whose brief presence brings stability into the life of the women. Newcomer Katie Jarvis gives a riveting performance as Mia in her acting debut. Michael Fassbender and Kierston Wareing equally give powerful performances as the adults. Arnold brings credibility and freshness in this coming of age tale that never misses a beat. YRCinema's coverage of the 62nd Festival de Cannes.
