Play director Caden Cotard (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is at somewhat of a moot point in his life. His wife Adele (played by Catherine Keener), whom despises him, and has taken their younger Olive with her as she heads to the German art scene. He has unresolved sexual tension with a range of other women, from psychologist Hope Davis to box office clerk Samantha Morton to one of the actresses he is directing,...
Sam Riley and Samantha Morton in Control Photo: The Weinstein Co. I finally watched Anton Corbijn’s Control last night based on the life of Joy Division lead singer Ian Curtis and on top of being a good film, it is a beautiful film to look at, but one I am sure most general audience members wouldn’t even [...]

Synecdoche, New York is a weird film, but that's what you'd expect from something both written and directed by Charlie Kaufman. Spike Jonze originally developed the project with Kaufman intending to direct it...

Samantha Morton's film about children in care is the latest in a string of ambitious new Channel 4 dramas. Has the broadcaster, long derided as the purveyor of trashy reality TV, cleaned up its act? Something tells me that not many social workers will have enjoyed The Unloved (Sunday 17 May, 9pm, Channel 4), the actor Samantha Morton's directorial debut, though their cries of indignation have perhaps...
A child’s-eye view of our government run care system, Oscar nominated actress and directorial débutante Samantha Morton continued Channel 4’s impressive run of in-depth, libertarian drama on Sunday night – and it was perhaps the commercial channel’s most ambitious production so far. Aired during a prime time slot (Sunday, 9pm) as part of the Forgotten Children [...]
I was lucky enough to go down to Channel 4 the other week and watch a screening of Samantha Morton's directorial debut, The Unloved. I had the benefit of watching it on a big screen and was treated to Samantha chatting emotionally and passionately about her story, and how, in certain respects, it mirrored her own upbringing. I was pretty blown away by it all, and thought parts of it were staggering....
The feature-length drama The Unloved, the centrepiece of Channel's 4's Britain's Forgotten Children season about youngsters in care, has already been described as "Ken Loach on downers". You could compare it to Loach's seminal polemic Cathy Come Home, or even liken it – with its rapt poetic attention to a provincial British city (in this case Nottingham) – to the work of Bill...
A few weeks ago I went along to Channel 4 to see a screening of Hollywood actress Samantha Morton's directorial debut, The Unloved. The jewel in the channel's Britain's Forgotten Children season, The Unloved tells the story of 11-year-old Lucy and her life in and out of care. Molly Windsor, who plays Lucy, is truly astonishingly good, and there's Robert Carlyle in there too. It's pretty powerful stuff...
