Special pleading on behalf of a lower-class Englishwoman who, at the outset, has lost four children (of four different fathers) to Social Services. By the end, she will have lost two more (one and the same father, a too-good-to-be-true Paraguayan political refugee, accompanied by panpipes on the soundtrack). A typical Ken Loach slice of life, tough as shoe leather on the outside, mushy underdeath. Based on fact, so they say, and seemingly unscripted and unstaged, with an unvarnished, largely unsympathetic performance by Crissy Rock, hitherto a Liverpudlian stand-up comic(!). (1994) — Duncan Shepherd
