Trivia
Vicky Knight, who plays Jade, is a nurse in real life, and this is her first film. The scars on her body are real, the result of a fire in her home when she was 8 years old, which caused burns over 30% of her body. She later became a nurse in the same hospital where she was treated for her burns. For the movie, the real scars were slightly exaggerated.

Skin deep

When a beautiful young woman has acid thrown in her face, what does it do to her sense of self? This is the key question in this intoxicating 21st century London drama.

The film is reminiscent of Andrea Arnold's work. All the scars (literally) are laid bare. This is no redemptive story but Jade does grow. And the journey is moving and cathartic.
