This film was on BBC's iPlayer and because of IMDb's high rating it got me curious to see this film. The first 15 minutes I was worried I was going to see some "I'm-gonna-dance-out-of-da-ghetto" film, but it turned out to be a coming-of-age flick of some white-trash girl. Now there is nothing wrong with that (Trainspotting is one of my favourite movies), however; there were several times where things were starting to get really dangerous and these were excellent opportunities to make the story really REALLY interesting. But unfortunately for some reason the writer did not have the guts to turn into that road, with the result; a film that fizzles out into another boring supposed-to-be-happy-ending flick.
The film did not deliver any kind of message and it is basically a documentary of a time period where an European white-trash family trying to live the African-American gangster dream. 4/10
score 4/10
