There are some strong ideas and sharply observed family dysfunction drama in this feature debut by documentary maker Ed Morris. But none are enough to stop the film sinking into silliness, with a highly implausible abduction followed by a road trip across the South Downs.
Bridgertonâs Ruby Barker plays troubled 19-year-old Yakira, who lives with her dad, his second wife and her lairy 12-year-old half-sister Kelly (Lily-Rose Aslandogdu). Family life is an emotional battlefield in their suburban semi, the two girls constantly at each otherâs throats. Yakira resents the way their parents ignore Kellyâs nasty nickname for her: âNo mum.â The whereabouts of her birth mother isnât revealed until later on, but Barkerâs compelling performance hints at a childhood trauma that has left Yakira feeling adrift in the world, vulnerable and impulsive.
