- A film that gives a child's eye view of the U.K.'s government-run care system for orphans and children in danger.
- Lucy is eleven years old. Having been neglected by her estranged mother and father, she is placed in a children's home. Through her eyes, we follow Lucy's struggle to cope with the system. Her saving is her self-belief and her certainty that she is being watched over and protected by the holy spirit. Hers is a heroic quest for love, beauty and transcendence.—Anonymous
- Two-time Academy Award nominee Samantha Morton's directorial debut The Unloved is a powerful and personal look at the strength and resilience of youth. Eleven-year-old Lucy seeks refuge from her abusive father. Placed in a tumultuous foster home, Lucy befriends her rebellious teenage roommate Lauren, and together they navigate the cold and uncaring world before them.—Amazon Digital Services LLC.
- With a barebones narrative and a visual depth of compassion, this is the life of a young child, any child, caught up in the British care system. Seen through the eyes of an eleven-year-old girl, this, a child's journey and first steps into a wider world. Her desire for recognition is both low on dialogue and high on sentimental empathy of how the physical and emotional abandonment of both parent, and an indifferent system and their respective responsibilities, can isolate and do harm.—Cinema_Fan
