Editor's Take

A BAFTA-winning portrait shot on a condemned Birmingham housing estate, this film observes one family trying to hold together after a stepfather's departure. It stays with the daily texture of life on public assistance in a decaying home, the mould spreading across the windows, and it watches with compassion rather than judgment. The observational method gives the family room to be more than their circumstances, which is the source of the film's quiet force.

Kelly and Her Sisters is a BAFTA-winning portrait of a family struggling to survive on a condemned housing estate in South Birmingham. After her stepfather leaves, Kelly's family lives on public assistance in a decaying home where mould creeps across the windows. The film observes their daily reality with unflinching compassion, capturing both hardship and resilience. Affecting and honest, it puts a human face on British poverty.
