Taken from David Mercer’s In Two Minds, Ken Loach’s film is a documentary-style account of a teenage girl’s deteriorating mental state, aggravated by parental pressure and aggressive medical treatment.
Taken from David Mercer's In Two Minds, Loach's documentary-style account of a teenage girl's steadily deteriorating mental state locates the cause of her decline firmly within her apparently all-too-ordinary family. Parental pressure and medical treatment that can only be described as aggressive have far from the desired effect. Very powerful and all too plausible.
