The Earth Belongs is a compelling honest story of a fifteen year old girl growing up rough England projects. In full evidence is Ani Laurie's exhilarating drama and punch for pulling the plaster off. A coming-of-age story that allows us to get lost in the filmmakers trancelike exhilarating filmmaking.
This film looks at present day Britain economic and social conditions for young abandoned teens - without preach or sanctimonious irony. The actress Jessica Barden plays a sassy, heart on her sleeve girl with mad attitude - she gives an outstanding dramatic performance. The youngest of the girls Alana Boden gives a rare striking performance as a teen with trauma. This is the only film I've ever seen which conveys a committed portrayal of truama, crime gun underworld culture.
