A Landscape of Lies - Directors Cut

Why this didn't get a wide release amazes me. Just the fact that all round good girl Andrea McLean has a leading role in this should have gotten the TV treatment at least. As is I saw this on VOD and have to say was happily surprised by the fact this was way above the usual Brit indie stuff that that seems to get far more attention. Not your typical lads film, in fact this is girl power front and center with a lot of before they were famous faces.

After watching it I did find myself googling and read what went on behind the scenes. I feel for all the cast and crew and especially the writer director Paul Knight. All those efforts discarded to make way for the headlines of the 5 producers who committed tax fraud.

The story is thought provoking, the twists and turns keep it interesting. There are a couple of duff actors in it and the low budget restrictions are apparent in a few scenes but that does not stop it from not being a chore to sit through.

I would recommend this film if you are a huge Loose Women fan, soap fan or just like films that will make you talk about it afterwards for days to come. Not one that will be forgotten quickly.
