Lollipop is a punchy little kitchen sink drama that aims for those Ken Loach and Mike Leigh beats—and gives it a damned good go. It’s gritty, humane, and quietly furious. The cast is superb, delivering raw, believable performances that pull you straight in. It’s hard not to feel angry watching it—once again, it takes a film to expose the system’s failings. Not perfect, but undeniably powerful. One that sticks with you—just like the name suggests.
