Lynn and Lucy are lifelong best friends, their relationship as intense as any romance. Neither has ventured far from where they grew up. Lynn, who married her first boyfriend and whose daughter is fast growing up, is delighted when the charismatic, volatile Lucy has her first baby boy. Lucy, however, does not react to being a mother as Lynn expects. Soon, they find their friendship is tested in extreme circumstances.
Movie night with Iris.
Debut from writer-director Fyzal Boulifa documents irresponsible parenting and its catastrophic results. However, of greater interest is the haste and heartlessness of the judgements which follow, with vilification spreading through a working-class community like a virus.
Filmed in nearby Harlow shot in a narrow frame Essex, you feel as trapped as the estate protagonists. Lynn + Lucy is a thought-provoking, worthy watch that asks us to see the human beings behind the horor headlines and consider the consequences of our words.
