- THE HEN AND THE EGGS
LADYBIRD LADYBIRD, a movie you can also find here in the DVD standard but only in a zone 4 edition Ladybird Ladybird [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.4 Import - Australia ], earned two awards at the 1994 Berlin Film festival. The whole filmography of director Ken Loach is composed of social or political movies and this corpus is one of the most interesting filmographies of the recent British cinematic production.

With this film, Ken Loach's intentions are clear, the director wants to denounce how social services and justice handle the case of so-called unfit mothers in Great Britain. I personally didn't know that justice could break the legal bond between a mother and her children and deny her the right to ever see them again. As a human being, this regulation shocks me even if I'm aware that it's often better to move away the children in peculiar cases. In the dramatic situation exposed by Ken Loach, the ... Read More

- Difficult and Riveting
This is one of those movies that I didn't enjoy, but I would recommend it to most people. Although I didn't feel enjoyment, I was extremely moved by this movie. I felt a gambit of emotions during this movie: sorrow, anguish, frustration, love, awe, and wonder.I felt anguish, sorrow, and frustration over the main character's predicament. She just can't seem to dig herself out of a hole. I felt love, awe, and wonder over the relationship she finds with Jorge.

Ladybird is the story of a woman that can best be described as a 'townie' who loses one kid after another because of her uncorkable temper. When I say she is a townie, I mean she is a person who's watering hole, place of employment, and home are all in the same town. She will never leave this town. She first loses her kids after leaving them alone in her apartment one night while she heads off to her bar and one of her kids plays with matches and burns themselves. She meets a man, and they decide to have kids. The kids get taken away one after the next.
She has no patience to deal with the social services people who show up in her house and politely ask her probing questions about her family life. The system is slow and bereft of results, and she blows her top at it, adding fuel to the fire. The thing is, she is not a maniac. She knows how to express her feelings one way, and noone is cutting her a break. Watching ... Read More

Had to watch this for a Family Law class. Very real, can be harsh. Extremely well acted, however, subject is very depressing.
