Review of Red Road (2006) by Scott G — 20 Sep 2007

Great british fil here depicting what could be about redemption, revenge or loss, seen throughb the eyes of a woman, making a stand on her own when people are questioning her motives, and also brings up a few isues withb todays society. jackie is a lonely cctv operator, working certain sections, of the city, and one known as red road, when one day she spots a man she seems to know, so she spends her time watching this guy, waiting to see what he does, as we the viewer dont realise what he has done, we see two people going about there lives, is the man guilty of something, hes fresh out of jail, and hanging round playgrounds, is he a peadophile, is he selling drugs to kids, jackie knows and shes not saying, so when she confronts the man at his home, will we get answers.

Aparently a 1st part to a trilogi with the same charactor, but different situations, kate dickie, is on form here as jackie, love the way you dont know why shes doing what shes doing, and ass the man is depicted as creepy, all the more afective, and I do like the outcome here as we see why shes doing what shes doing, great british feel as well, very ken loach. directed by andre arnold, a great debut and looking forward to more from here, especially if made in britain.
