REVIEW
Lloyd gives a knockout performance in this poignant and well-aimed comedy-drama set in England in the early 1950s. Lloyd perfectly plays a sassy, sexually advanced teenager whose search for fulfillment and escape from her rigid father steers her towards an ill-conceived affair with an older man, familial abandonment, and, ultimately, fervent independence. This could be -- although it is not officially -- the prequel to Personal Services, which was written by director Leland. You Might Also Like
