About This Movie
When I Was 12 dives into the gritty realities of childhood in a troubled environment. Chloe, only twelve, is navigating life on a Burnley estate, burdened by her chaotic home life—her alcoholic mother and an abusive brother. The film's tone is raw, almost suffocating at times, which really immerses you in Chloe's struggles. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to feel the weight of each moment she shares with Lee, her only confidant, who understands her plight. The performances are strikingly authentic; you can really sense the pain and longing in their interactions. There's a distinct use of practical effects that grounds the story in its harsh reality, making it a unique piece within the drama genre. Definitely a film that lingers in your mind.
