I absolutely loved the movie despite some predictable elements. But the acting is phenomenal. George Mackay just lives the character of Jack, its hard not to shed tears for him, feel his anxieties and emotions. It mainly deals with the trauma and challenges kids have to face when a parent is extremely abusive. Even if they find a way to escape the situation, the societal laws and challenges make it difficult to survive. Jack is the protector of his 3 siblings from his abusive father and society which wants to separate them as his mother has died. The whole movie is on Jack's fight for survival which at one point threatens his existence. The 3 other kids were fantastic and Anya Taylor Joy is again perfect as Jack's girlfriend who loves him unconditionally.
