Absorbing and disturbing
28 January 2001
I'm not sure why I found this film quite so fascinating. I assume it was all about Iris' problems in coming to terms with her mother's death.

I agree with another comment on here that the music was especially good. It would be nice to have a soundtrack album available. Some of the ambient stuff was worth playing again.

In a way, this was a kind of magical realism. Iris certainly had some mental health problems and I think this was brilliantly portrayed by the director and by Samantha Morton. I can't believe I already saw her in Emma. I must revisit that one.

I recorded this off Channel 4 and only recently got around to watching it. I think it deserves a second viewing.
