I really enjoyed this awesome British movie. Without getting into spoilers, there's a massive, oh- my-Gosh twist in the first 10 minutes that sets in motion a crazy and tragic chain of events. Awesome acting from Maxine Peake, her self-absorbed character makes it hard to root for her, but she grows more likable as she gets more desperate, and I found myself willing her on. This tense and electrifying movie is outstanding in some areas, hard to watch in other places but I guarantee you that with all the plot twists it stays gripping from beginning to end, and doesn't let go for a second. Keeping Rosy has an awesome plot, and cool acting performances, but it seems strange that there wasn't more hype surrounding this electrifying movie, it should have been a breakout success. Go see it if you can

Maxine Peake is a go getting but brittle career woman who is severely put out when she is passed over a promotion. When she goes back to her flat she takes her frustrations out on her Polish cleaner and accidentally kills her with her champagne bottle but then discovers the cleaning lady's baby in the car.As she tries to cover her tracks and get rid of the body she realises that she might had got caught on CCTV. This is when a slimy security guard enters her life demanding money from her with menace.This is a doom laden film with plenty of London Docklands location shooting, many unlikeable characters, little plausibility and plot contrivances. This low budget movie comes across more as a gritty television film.Peake mellows as she cares for the baby and becomes attached to it and in the end she will do anything to keep the baby safe.

One mistake I make sometimes before watching a movie when it comes up on Sky Movies is to read reviews. People should just start watching themselves and see how it goes. This was an excellent movie, very watchable, very "what's going to happen next' as the main character tries to make the best of a bad situation. I didn't find it scary at all, and I'm quite squeamish, some places had classed it as horror. It wasn't. It's a tense gripping drama with a few surprises here and there. And there was no bad violence gore or anything of the sort. There was an element of comedy in parts, maybe unintentional. I also found many reviews were negative about the main character which I disagree with. I wish it was slightly longer. Thoroughly recommended, Ms Peake was fabulous as usual

I'll just start by saying that this movie is not for the average viewer, and if you are the superficial type, always in search of a simple and comfortable state of mind, then this movie is probably not for you. A certain depth is required to understand that this is real life, and real life is not the one that the every day irresponsible or the ignorant happy-go-lucky type believes it to be.Without giving away any specific details, it's a moving and intense story with well developed characters. It's also an atmospheric experience, dark and sad, but real and, quite frankly, I am surprised it got such a low score. Most probably people don't get this movie and then there are those who get it and are so terrified of the clarity with which this movie paints the horrible way life can spin out of control that they rate it low.Make no mistake, this movie is good and it is clearly underrated. It delivers what it promises and it does so beautifully. Life is more often like this than the ignorant bliss people want it to be. My views may be seen as somewhat cynical. If that's the label some people put on seeing reality for what it is, then I'll take pride in being labeled as such and being taken away by good movies like this one from idiocy painted in pretty pictures.I highly recommend it and I'm sure this one will stay with me.
