What we love about this film
Listen is an emotive and deeply affecting story of one couple’s desperate struggle to keep their family together after they are threatened by the British social services. Reminiscent of Ken Loach’s social issue dramas, Listen is a powerful film with compelling performances from Maisie Sly and Lúcia Moniz.
