Film
Dirty God (15)
Dir. Sasha Polak, UK/Netherlands, 2019, 104 mins.
Cast. Vicky Knight, Eliza Brady-Girard, Rebecca Stone.
This powerful drama, the first English language film from acclaimed Dutch director Polak tells the story of a young woman rebuilding her life after an acid attack leaves her with severe burns. After the attack at the hands of her ex-boyfriend, Jade is determined to life her life on her own terms. She struggles to cope with the trauma of the incident, and the visible scars on her face, neck, chest and arms alarm her young daughter and profoundly alter her sense of self. A brilliant portrait of a young woman with tremendous resilience, this is a heroine who makes her own choices and deals with the consequences, and newcomer Knight - herself badly burned as a child - is a genuine revelation in the role.
