LOLLIPOP

A timely film about the realities of the social care system, Daisy-May Hudson’s debut (drawn from her own experiences) is a raw and urgent drama about one desperate mother’s relentless fight for justice against a broken system. After completing a prison sentence, single mother Molly expects to be reunited with her two young children. However, during her incarceration her own mother handed the children over to social services. Now Molly finds herself plunged into a nightmare of broken systems that prevent her from finding a home and regaining custody of her family. The narrative feature debut of Daisy-May Hudson (who was previously BIFA and Grierson-nominated for Half Way, a personal documentary about homelessness) is a powerful and compassionate drama in the tradition of Ken Loach, albeit shot through a distinctly female lens. It highlights how inadequate systems of support can create cycles of injustice, but also focuses on the joy and strength that sisterhood can provide, even in the darkest times. Posy Sterling is a revelation as Molly, delivering an unforgettable performance that will both break your heart and mend it.DramaPT1H40M152025-06-20
