Rated 18 Mar 2011

Better than you'd think an ultra-cheap, obscure film made for public television in 1993 would be. (It's easy to find, though, available for rental on YouTube.) Although it's intended for young audiences, it doesn't let them off easy! There's some disturbing imagery later in the film, but the ending is happy enough. Robbie Sams is a strikingly good actress for her age and lack of experience; it's a shame cystic fibrosis claimed her life four years after this film was released.
