Movie Reviews:

• CinemaSerf: “Jean” (Rosy McEwan) is a physical education teacher at a school in Northern Engand. Privately, she is having a relationship with the out and proud “Viv” (Kerrie Hayes) but the emphasis here is very much on the “privately” – something that her confident girlfriend struggles to comprehend. When “Lois” (Lucy Halliday) joins her netball class, then runs into her in a bar later, things become complicated for “Jean” and the remainder of the film illustrates just a short segment of her troubled life as her pupils start to put two and two together and mischief and malevolence rears their very ugly heads. As a gay lad who lived at the time I am actually a little tired of films that make out that “Thatcher” was some alien space invader sent by God to cleanse society. The views of her government represented massive numbers of people in Britain – across the political spectrum – who were terrified about the perceived adverse influences on children of what they saw as “permissive” practices. Rather than acknowledge these concerns as legitimate (at the time) and put some national context into this story, this film really only takes a couple of people whose relationship never comes across as especially strong anyway, and try to make a greater political point. To have been successful there, balance is essential. The underlying plot issues are potent, but they are not developed anywhere near enough to create substantial characters and instead offer us a rather undercooked swipe at a system that was as broadly representative then as it is not (thankfully) now. The production is all a bit basic and though McEwan offers us a considered performance and the film is certainly worth watching, I had really hoped for something just a bit deeper and stronger.
