Raw, real and quietly devastating in all the right ways, Lollipop is British social realism at its absolute best. The film follows a young mother trying to rebuild her life against a system that feels stacked against her – tackling everything from class and care to resilience and hope with honesty that hits hard.
At the centre of it all is Posy Sterling, delivering a performance so powerful it earned her a BAFTA nomination for Best Newcomer, and trust us, it’s completely deserved. She brings a vulnerability and strength that stays with you long after the credits roll.
It’s gripping, emotional, and deeply human storytelling… and the cherry on top? It never loses its warmth, even in its toughest moments.
