A documentary-style production from Ken Loach which looks at the trauma suffered by a young girl who is forced into abortion by her own parents. Very low-key and slow, as befitting the documentary approach. A look at the power politics inside a single family while also shining a light on the social milieu of the early 1970s. Unfortunately although the subject matter is certainly hard-hitting, I didn't like this anywhere near as much as I liked earlier Loach films like POOR COW and KES.
