A mother and daughter find themselves locked in an ugly battle over the same man in this drama from writer and director Andr. Mia is 15 years old and lives in a shabby apartment block with her mother, Joanne and younger sister, Tyler. Mia is a reckless and rebellious teenager who frequently argues with her mother and sister and has run afoul of the authorities at school, leading to her being suspended.
At the start of the film, i wasnt very interested because of the lack of quality in the filming. I noticed that the camera shots were mostly medium. Also the film used lowkey lighting this connotes that the film was going to emotional. The use of mise en scene in the film shows us that the family are low class due to their clothing in the film.
I enjoyed the way the director picked a main character that couldnt dance, because it makes the film more realistic, it shows us that not everyone succeeds in life. Also i liked the story line and the drama between Mia and Joanne's boyfriend , it creates excitement and tention making the audience want to watch more.
Also i believe that the horse that was locked up symbolised Mia trying to break free in life , as she felt as if she couldnt express herself living at home with her mother and sister. This connotes that the character felt isolated and unwanted
