Dustbin Baby (2008 TV Movie)
9/10
Read the book several times, still had me in tears!

Absolutely brilliant portrayal.

I read the book when I was possibly too young to understand all of it. I'm not now 25 years old and decided to revisit this.

So full of emotion, fantastic use of music and the acting was spot on. Brilliant use of the paper girls motif.

I was slightly annoyed at the inclusion of the Elliot character because was not in the book. He was a great actor, but I feel added nothing to the storyline. April is the main character, not Marion.

I would've loved to have seen the girly dressing-up scene with Tanya talking about Mandy, and a meeting scene with Elaine the Pain. However I understand that this film couldn't put them in due to time constraints.
