TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Samantha Morton wished The Unloved to be filmed for television rather than for Cinema. The reason being is that she thought, as in her own childhood experiences with going to the cinema, younger audiences' might not afford the price of a cinema ticket. Thus, younger audiences' would see this production "for free".

Popular Dialogues

"Lucy: [Lucy's mother is hugging her daughter and crying hysterically at the bus stop. Lucy thinks that she has done something wrong by going to visit her mom away from her foster home] ... I'm sorry. Lucy's Mother: [sounding lividly angry] Don't you EVER be sorry for visiting your mum! [Lucy's mother hugs her daughter again before letting her get onto the bus]"

"[first lines] Lucy: The Lord is my life and my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat of my flesh, they stumbled and fell."
