    The moment Arbor hugged his mother, I saw a man instead of a child, and finally cried when I watched it. I always like this kind of film...

    A city where development is almost stagnant, a complete but not tender family, a stubborn and innocent teenager, a small but sturdy friendship. The color and the situation are as cold as the story. The faces of the adults are too demonized, and only the images of the children are full. A very high-scoring debut, but the fragmentary expression is lost. # Fourth Session Beijing International Film...

    The title means Britain. A large number of quick cuts and hand-held shots all indicate the uneasy turbulence of the character's fate and the incompleteness of the social environment. In the end, Swift’s mother’s understanding was that Abbott’s improvement was a bit of a failure. In a hopeless society, kindness is...

    The sudden death, when I was caught off guard, pinched my heart tightly. Swift is the most gentle character in it. He respects life and knows how to get in touch with horses. In contrast, Alba is not only stubborn, but also cruel. But a story full of allegory, in the end, it must be presented as a tragedy, so that the audience can feel the director’s intentions. Although the reality is extremely cruel, it still shows us the rare gentleness of...

    It seems that in the future there can be a label called "British Rage Boy Torture Series". This is the case again. In the end, my heart was penetrated by TAT. As a female director, the debut work is already pretty good, although in terms of dramas There are still many details that need to be perfected. Senior Ken Roach, Andrea Arnold, etc. are all very strong. The actors have many familiar faces, including Downton’s aunt octopus orz....

The Selfish Giant quotes

  • Policeman: This is a formal interview under caution. Do you understand that, Fenton? Hey, do you understand?

    Arbor: Yeah.

    Policeman: A witness saw two youths burning railway or communications cable.

    Michelle 'Shelly' Fenton: That's nowt to do with him.

    Policeman: Cable theft is a very serious crime, Mrs. Fenton. Trespass on the railway is £1,000 fine.

    Arbor: I ain't been on railway.

    Policeman: Vandalism, endangering lives, maximum penalty of life imprisonment.

    Michelle 'Shelly' Fenton: He's just a kid. He ain't nicked no cable. You're looking at wrong place.

    Policeman: He is, as you say, Mrs. Fenton, a minor. There's unscrupulous people out there getting kids to do their dirty work so they don't get into trouble with the police themselves.
