I was immensely moved by this slow-burning English drama, about a mother and her desperate search for her missing child.
Veronica Jean Trickett gives a captivating, understated performance as a desperate "mum." The scene with her and a pair debt/collectors, once she reaches the end of her rope, was especially powerful. The further into the plot, Veronica's character becomes more like a detective, taking back her agency. From there, it escalates into a tense, white knuckle thriller. Dudley anchors us with a docu-style reality, grounding the tension and smaller human moments.
