The Unloved - Any one else watching it ?

[rookiemater]

I'm so disappointed, I was really looking forward to this, had read all the interviews with Samantha Morton, thought it would be a harrowing but intelligent drama.

But it's just so slow, I gave up half way through to watch a Marilyn Monroe documentary, came back and she is in a blinkin cemetery looking at a deer, now is it just me or was that already used in The Queen.

Thankfully DH will come in soon to hijack the tv for match of the day and I will be released.

I agree it had to be slow because her life wasn't dramatic, just very slowly drifting off from her family.

Oh bugger I wanted to watch this and completely forgot it was on!

Do you think it'll be repeated or on catchup?

On catch up here for another 28 days

Pagwatch - have wanted to post about this but wasn't feeling articulate enough to do it justice. Now I don't have to because you've said exactly what I thought! I found it both brilliant and very very hard to watch - worst bit for me was when the girl said to her Mum 'Is there any chance I could stay here?' after her first question had been ignored.

i'm off again.......

hey youfucker

stop fuckign crying

thanks HopefulFC

You've set me off again now

it was brilliant, I love Samantha Morton. That bit at the end where her mother looked at her, then stroked the cat - like a punch in the stomach - extraordinary piece of work.

I started watching this the other day but had to stop. It's so damn hard to watch esp if at any point you have any experience of anything like that. you know why the silence and odd camera angles and shots....

Only watched to the bit where they get caught shoplifting. will watch properly 2mo but i suspect i won't get very far.

is this a book? or going to be a book?
