    Butterfly is a heartfelt and sensitive drama about a complex family situation, a child who feels that their gender identity is different from the one chosen at birth.

    When their 11-year-old, Max (Callum Booth-Ford), experiences increasingly distressing feelings around gender, separated parents, Vicky (Anna Friel) and Stephen (Emmett J. Scanlan) attempt to work together. But with both parents divided, will Max find the courage to identify as a girl and express herself as Maxine?

    Will Maxine’s family be able to accept her for who she really is?

  • MOVIE REVIEW: Having You

    ★★★ | Having You

    The two DVDs that came through my letterbox just after Christmas could not be more different, though both come from our friends over at Matchbox Films.

    The first of the two I watched was Having You, written and directed by Sam Hoare.

    There are some great performances here, from Andrew Buchan as recovering alcoholic Jack, from Philip Davis as his thoroughly nasty and unlikeable father, from Romola Garai, as Jack’s beautiful girlfriend, from the gorgeous Steven Cree as Jack’s business partner and sponsor, and from the ever watchable Anna Friel as Anna, a blast from the past who drops a bombshell on Jack that he finds difficult to come to terms with. It’s a gentle, watchable movie, which draws you in, but I confess to finding it somewhat manipulative with an ending that is just a little too pat to be convincing. None the less, worth catching if you have a couple of hours to spare one evening.
