Hi I need some films to critique that portrait the sexual victimisation of teens. I remember one about a girl who's mum is an alcoholic and her mums partner rapes her on the sofa, and it is portrait as consented any one know the name? I never watched the whole film and can't remember what its called.

Any other similar films anyone know about?

Maybe I could contrast both movies and see the different representation

I think I need to focus on British film making
However can't find much, was thinking of a time line of changing representations

So far all I can think of is
Rita bob and sue too
Fish tank

Anything before or in between thank anyone can point me to?

Care was a TV movie about abuse in a children's home. I think all the teens were boys. It is British.

This is England? It's a TV series but a sequel to the 2006 film of the same name. I haven't seen the film so there might be something in that that's useful to you too.

Sleepers - the abuse in that film stuck with me for an awfully long time.
The book is also an excellent (but harrowing) read.
