Single-mother Sandra (Clare Dunne) escapes her abusive partner with her two young children, only to find herself trapped in temporary accommodation. After months of struggling, she draws inspiration from one of her daughter’s bedtime stories and hits upon the idea of self-building an affordable home. She finds an architect who provides her with plans and is offered land by Peggy (Harriet Walter), a woman she cleans for. Aido (Conleth Hill), a building contractor, appears willing to help too. But as her past rears its head, in the form of Gary (Ian Lloyd Anderson), her possessive ex, and as bureaucrats fight back against her independent spirit, will Sandra be able to rebuild her life from the ground up?

……燒掉房子其實也不算突兀，畢竟人都有被燒的。總覺得故事講得有點不足，或許是好人太多，才讓燒房子在這樣的世界裡看起來比較不真實吧。
励志鸡汤片，感觉挺假的。
#LFF20 一股浓浓的肯洛奇的味道，结果只学了皮毛没学到内核。女性视角可以，但是不够完整，也不够有吸引力。平淡如水，也就因为是英国片才入的伦影吧...
#LFF2020t# 3.5。表现得很寻常的女性主义drama，没有什么特别突出的地方，无功也无过。人物也很多，但也都局限于“受害者”和“好心人”的老套关系。胎记、不同空间地点的奔波这些都构成了这部女性主义影像的一系列意象。可能觉得要一直延续没有容身之处”的主题，才有了烧房子的设定，但个人觉得这部分没有太大存在的必要。除了反转之外，对于那个时刻电影想要传达的意思并没有起很大作用。
