(BAFTA Award winner 1995) This movie is funny, amusing and serious at the same time. The story line goes like this... A young woman in her teens who has cerebral palsy, and a major attitude towards her bumbling father who has had virtually no contact with her for many years, drive around England trying to find the truth behind the myth of Skallagrigg. She brings along some of her friends from the group home who spend a lot of time ribbing the old man, who at first can't understand a word his daughter is saying. They encounter a variety of interesting and colourful people with disabilities who give them a piece of the story about a young man in an institution during the Second World War, who experiences both abuse and love and what happens to him. I won't spoil the surprise for you, but I must say, I had to wonder at the end - that was both delightful and tearful - what happened to the baby? Hopefully, they will do a Skallagrigg 2, which will answer the question. Directed by Richard Spence Reviewed by Disability Cool Cast: |
