TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Director Adler based her ideas for the script on forensic psychiatrist Estela Weldon's book "Mother Madonna Whore" which argues that, whereas men externalize their grieving processes through anger, women internalize them via paths which can incorporate such extreme reactions as mutilation and promiscuity.

Samantha Morton's feature film debut.

Popular Dialogues

"Rose Kelly: You all right then? Iris Kelly: Yeah. Are you? Rose Kelly: Yeah, I'm fine. Are you sure you're okay? Iris Kelly: Yeah. Rose Kelly: You look like a slut. Iris Kelly: Thank you."

"[last lines] Iris Kelly: [voice-over] Maybe I'll have a go at the singing, or maybe I'll work in a flower shop. This woman, she'd got an ad in the paper. Lots of people applied for the job, but she's chosen me. I've always loved flowers. I love their smell, their colours, the shapes they make. I could learn all their names by heart."
