Herself

AroView: Excellent Irish drama about a young mother seeking to rebuild her life from scratch by self-building an affordable home while extracting herself from an abusive relationship.

A survivor’s story with a strong central performance from Clare Dunne (who also co-wrote the script), this is, considering the painful subject matter, a widely accessible film that goes down easy without feeling sugar coated.

“Director Phyllida Lloyd (Mamma Mia!, The Iron Lady) does a masterful job of bringing Sandra’s experiences together into an immensely watchable and frequently touching narrative.” ~Sarah Cullen, FILM IRELAND MAGAZINE
