Review
A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Stephen Carty
Epilepsy and fractured family ties are the two main concerns of this naturalistic British drama. The person dealing with both is Lily (Agyness Deyn), a young woman who suffers from debilitating seizures that make it difficult for her to lead a normal life. In spite of this, however, she travels down from the north to London after the sudden death of her mother, deciding to track down her long-lost younger brother (Christian Cooke) to ensure he gets his share of the inheritance. As she does so, director Bryn Higgins draws us into her world, employing some effective visual flourishes to depict the sensory experience that Lily goes through during a fit. The story itself isn't especially remarkable but the film is gifted with a fearless, revelatory, star-making performance by model-turned-actress Deyn, who shines in her first leading role.
