texxas-1 This doesn't really have any plot twists, it'd basically a young girls journey through the care system. This drama will shatter any Tracy Beaker fantasy you've got of a UK care home. There's a lot of up north accents which is odd for a UK drama. The ending was a bit too depressing and the isolation Lucys character portrays is massive.

Letsriot919 The Unloved is perhaps the most moving film of all Time as I almost cried several times over Lucy's predicament. I would recommend this film to anyone I meet on the basis of how great the film is. After watching this film it's not hard to feel sad for the UK children caught up in the British care system. This movie is possibly the greatest work of art I have ever seen. Lucy Manvers is an inspiring character so to speak. Played by Molly Windsor Lucy Manvers gives you a haunting inside look into the British care system that will leave you almost in tears by the end of this wonderful film. I could just watch this over and over again. I would also recommend oranges and sunshine since its also a touching film featuring my favorite actress Molly Windsor. These two movies are excellent works of film featuring an excellent actress. I absolutely Loved this film and will watch it with my family for years to come

Kaitlyn Clark IMDb suggested this movie to me somewhere along the line, and I added it to my watch list. I love watching movies about the foster care system simply because it is a life very different from my own, and as a writer the stories fascinate me. Intense emotion is essential for me in a book or movie, and for obvious reasons the abuse of children is sure to create that tone.As my title suggests, The Unloved is okay, but not great. The acting is very well done, everyone is believable and fits very well into their roles. I was pleasantly surprised to find Lauren Socha, as I love the show Misfits. Her character added a small subplot, which helped with the pace of the film. The pace is where the film lost me. It started out pretty good, and had a few pops of intensity later on, but for the most part there was a lot of watching people stare off somewhere.If, unlike me, you don't get bored by a lack of dialogue, then I would recommend it. If you're looking for something with really high emotion and a thick plot, I'd suggest skipping over this film.I didn't regret it, but I won't be watching it again. 6/10

MJ I'm surprised to see so few reviews of this marvel. I also don't think this is a sad movie, unless you had a perfect childhood. Instead, it is reassuring and inspirational to find out that some have suffered more than us, and can put our imperfect pasts into perspective. The world is shown as seen solely through the eyes of the 11-year-old Lucy, who is almost merely an observer of her own life, with little dialogue and action in most parts; the script, the acting and the direction are as uncomplicated as they are powerful. Special mention should go to the lead actress: it is impossible to take your emotional eyes off Lucy at any time, and not to feel both the pains she suffers and the little joys she encounters; the longing for affection she endures and the masses of affection she radiates at the same time. The calm, humanity, love and care of Lucy's character are not diminished but instead reinforced by everything she goes through, and to that end she emerges triumphant from the film... and from life itself. The necessary consequence of all this is that the screen writer-director deserves the highest level of admiration, for both her life and for the direction of this piece, and also a massive thanks for sharing a lot of herself in this powerful drama.
