Movie Haiku:Another female-helmed Indie--like FISH TANK--that turns a few young people in an English backwater into radiant archetypes who glow with inner life despite their bleak circumstances. Front & center are Arbor (Chapman) & Swifty (Thomas), neighborhood boys on the brink of adolescence, but Bradford (West Yorkshire) is a character too.
