Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is co-director Mark Hayman's feature debut after years in documentary; Margaret Rogerson brings theatre background that shows in the intimate three-hander scenes.
Part of a 2020s wave of British 'mum-hero' thrillers (like The Mother) but made for roughly the catering budget of a Netflix original—its crowdfunding success speaks to audience hunger for working-class female leads.
