I gave this six because the actors turned up. A bit fed up with working class actors being presented as soap opera characters, inarticulate and sullen. The conversations that would have happened simply didn't happen. The continuity was questionable to say the least. I mean your best friend is killing herself with a car exhaust and you walk away. Really?

6.7Plot summary
Lynn (Roxanne Scrimshaw) and Lucy (Nichola Burley) have been friends their whole lives; inseparable at school and now living as neighbors and young mothers on an estate. But when a tragedy befalls the pair, a chain of events is set in motion that will severely test their bond, bringing out fears and resentments in the local community. This beautifully acted and haunting film, manages the trick of transcending its kitchen sink aesthetic and slice-of-life scenario to deliver something akin to a modern morality play. Without easy answers or resolutions, the film presents the thorniest 'what if?' scenario, confronting us with a taut thriller of bad choices, misunderstandings and escalating social unrest.

Movie night with Iris.
Debut from writer-director Fyzal Boulifa documents irresponsible parenting and its catastrophic results. However, of greater interest is the haste and heartlessness of the judgements which follow, with vilification spreading through a working-class community like a virus.
Filmed in nearby Harlow shot in a narrow frame Essex, you feel as trapped as the estate protagonists. Lynn + Lucy is a thought-provoking, worthy watch that asks us to see the human beings behind the horor headlines and consider the consequences of our words.

Saw the BBC logo and continued watching, more fool me.
Plus side, there was some great acting. There were also a couple of moments that took my breath, especially THAT confession from the main characters daughter.
The minus side, no real conclusion. Was she actually guilty then or not?
Overall... an embarrassing insight into the country we now live in. And some people think they're cool living like that.
