Thought provoking film with a central plot line featuring the Jehovah's Witness faith.
It follows Oldham, Lancashire, UK single mother Ivanna (Siobhan Finneran) a devout follower of the faith as she brings up her two teenage daughters. Facing struggles with both of them that question the faith.
Now I don't want to pass judgment on that faith however certain scenes and plot lines make the audience do I'm sure. Chloe the youngest daughter has medical issues with anaemia that required the forbidden blood transfusion at birth.
Luisa the elder sister has a relationship out of marriage and inter faith. She falls pregnant. As a consequence of her actions she is deworshipped from the faith and faces a long struggle to be accepted again. A struggle that she eventually gives up on.
Finneran gives an excellent performance. It is remarkable that she played Rita in Rita, Sue and Bob Too back in 1987.
