Another British Drama.

I'm not sure if I should be sitting here on a Saturday morning watching another film. I have plenty of other things to do. I was drawn into this within the first five minutes. Stopped it halfway, made another mug of coffee and cut a slice of cake. One of the joys of living alone, you can do what you like. 
I will put it here, but be warned, it is raw and emotional, and you will need a box of tissues. If you are not in the mood for this, skip it and move on. 
Once again, great acting from Timothy Spall, and Belinda Blethyn, and their co star Rebekah.
Drama based on real events. Bill and Wendy Ainscow (Timothy Spall and Brenda Blethyn) are a middle class, middle-aged Birmingham couple locked in a deeply dysfunctional relationship with their 32-year-old daughter Lisa (Rebekah Staton). In a culmination of years spent unsuccessfully trying to obtain a diagnosis and get state help to deal with with Lisa's condition - which eventually turns out to be Asperger's syndrome - Bill and Wendy are ultimately driven to desperate measures with tragic consequences.
