Lauryn Canny in Darlin'
The story of a Christian community taking in a feral child and teaching her the values of civilisation is one that as often been told in cinema but never quite the way it is in Darlin’. This blistering sequel to Lucky McKee’s The Woman marks the feature début of Pollyanna McIntosh as a director. Whilst she reappears as the Woman onscreen, the main focus of the film is on a teenage girl who has been in her care for many years and is now completely feral. When Darlin’ seeks help from a hospital, she is taken into the care of a Catholic charity which sees her as a wonderful opportunity for spiritual and financial improvement, if it can just civilise her, convert her, teach her to behave as it has so many others. it’s a film with some rapid action sequences and subtle drama – a lot.
