Review Dear Nobody
The miniseries "Dear Nobody", a film by Juliet May, is based on a novel by Berlie Doherty.
The film tells the story of Helen and Chris. The story alternates between Helen's letters and Chris's narrative. Both are eighteen years old and live in Sheffield. Their relationship develops well, but it all changes when Helen gets to know that she is pregnant. Their plans for the future seem to be destroyed and their family and parents don' t make the situation easier. That's the plot so far. The story of to the two loving teenagers who have to deal with the unexpected pregnancy is told in 3 episodes. The main actors are Katie Blake as Helen and Sean Maguire as Chris. So all in all it seems as if this film could be a nice view on a hard situation in the lives of two teenagers, but
, the film isn't able to tell the story that well and realistically that the viewer is able not to fall asleep after the first 10 minutes. That not the fault of the actors. Katie Blake and Sean Maguire try to act as realistically and as emotionally as possible, but it's the slow story and the boring scenes that destroy the whole atmosphere of the film. In addition to this the music that reminds of terrible guitar music from the 80's and doesn't fit to the movie. No questions - the film has got potential. The theme is very interesting and the moral aspects that appear in the film are very positive, ( abortion, adoption, family relationships, loneliness, love, pregnancy and sexuality) and everyone can imagine that it's not easy to become pregnant if you are about to finish your childhood but the film hasn't got the same power and the class to fascinate the viewer as the novel has.
