The film is awful! I only saw this because the rental company thinks it is the similarly named film 'Helen', starring Ashley Judd.
In this UK/Irish Helen, the acting is terribly stilted, the film constantly uses the same slowly panning camera technique which just becomes tedious. You can see pauses where the actors are trying to recall dialogue etc.
I've got to be honest, I think all this lottery funding is continuing to lead to hopeless UK films being funded and produced. I don't know why this film would have won an award.
The only think I can say is that technical of film and props etc was good.
