Forget your blockbusters and your superbores, Lollipop is the film you should have seen this year, with a performance by Posy Sterling - who has now been nominated for a BAFTA Rising Star award - which is viscerally outstanding.
“Lollipop follows Molly, a young mum who’s just been released from prison, and she is trying to regain custody of her two children,” Sterling says. “But she is in a catch-22 because she can’t regain custody of her children until she finds somewhere to live — but she can only apply for a one-bedroom flat as a single, unmarried woman, so therefore she can’t get her children back. So she takes destiny into her own hands.”
