Clio Barnard is a British director and the director of films such as The Arbor and The Selfish Giant, an adapted version of Oscar Wilde's classic story.
In an article with theskinny.co.uk, Barnard explained her inspiration behind the adaptation; it is her young son's favourite bedtime story.
She states that when filming The Arbor, she "saw loads of children that are excluded, not just from school, but from society. And then they’re demonised."
Cinevue claimed that "British social realism gets a welcome shot in the arm" with the release of the movie at the Cannes film festival.
The film is a "a contemporary coming of age fable about two young Yorkshire lads from a deprived estate who are drawn into the murkier side of scrap metal dealing. The lure of cash is tempting but it’s an arrangement that tests the boys’ friendship to the limit and, ultimately, brings about heart breaking tragedy" according to Filmoria, who rated the film very highly, giving it 4.5/5 stars for direction and performance.
