Speak Like a Child, the feature film debut of documentary director John Akomfrah, explores the intense friendship that evolves between three troubled teenagers growing up in an isolated children's home on the Northumbrian coast. The desolate beauty of the coastline is captured in stunning panoramas, while strong performances by the young cast help to create a lyrical and poignant drama.

Reviews

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
