Sweetheart (2021)
Country: GB
Technical: col/2.35:1 94m
Director: Marley Morrison
Cast: Nell Barlow, Jo Hartley, Ella-Rae Smith
Synopsis:
As she is dragged off on yet another family trip to the holiday park, little does angry young A.J. suspect that her confidence in her own difference will be thrown into confusion by someone actually taking an interest in her.
Review:
Beginning somewhat clunkily, this coming of age drama has superficial similarities with Claire Oakley's Make Up (2019) and is also part financed by BFI. However, it steers clear of pretension and settles into an affecting romance between the two girls, while ending on a high for the family group altogether. Close-up, shallow focus camerawork evokes the point of view of the protagonist more successfully than the internal monologue.
