Director: Andrea Arnold. She has also directed Red Road and Wasp and Dog.
Main stars: Katie Jarvis, Micheal Fassbender and Kierston Wareing
Katie Jarvis has starred in a TV series called 'Perfect Day'. Kierston Wareing has starred in two TV series. Also starred in the film 'Its a Free World' and 'Rise of the Footsoldier. Micheal Fassbender has starred in '300', 'Agatha Christie'. He has also starred in the films 'Inglorious Bastards, 'Jonah Hex'.
Plot: The story is about a teenager who is stuck in this low class lifestyle and is trying to escape. There is a white horse in the film, which Mia connects with and try's to help it escape as it is tied down. This relates to her lifestyle, showing that she is tied down and wont be able to escape her life, and will have to accept it. She has dance talents, but is unable to do anything with them, as she cant get anywhere with her lifestyle. Also, in the end of them film when Mia is leaving, her mother and her younger sister do a dance together, which connotes that they may lead the same life and cannot escape a low class lifestyle no matter what they do.
Characters: Kierston Wareing plays the character Joanne, Mia's mother. Her acting was good, she showed real emotion throughout the film, especially when she had scenes with Mia.
Katie Jarvis plays the character Mia. Her acting skills were really good, she showed real emotion and allowed the audience to see what it would feel like to be in that situation. Sometimes I got confused with her emotions, I didn't really know what was going on.
Micheal Fassbender plays the character Connor, the boyfriend. He is a family man, who comes to Mia and her mother when he wants to change lifestyles. He was very good in showing his emotions and was convincing when he tried to portray himself as the good guy. The audience can see when he had feelings towards Mia and her mother, which allowed the audience to guess what was going to happen.
Genre: I think that the genre was Drama. The film revolved around a young girls life and how she gets through the struggles. There are moments which involve family life, for example I think most of the drama came from Mia and her mother.
Soundtrack: The music
was parallel to what was being shown on the screen, for example when she was dancing in the room by herself, she was upset.
Audience: I think that this film is targeted to teenagers who are in similar situations and have a similar lifestyle to Mia. They will be able to connect with Mia and feel comfortable knowing that they aren't the only ones going through a rough time. Allowing the audience to see how others deal with their pain and anger, and may be follow them.
