Mum's Monday: Precious Things

Shown on Channel 5 here in the UK as a new movie "My Daughter is Innocent".

When I first heard about this film , the title, my first thought was ‘I wonder if she is actually innocent and how would it all play out’. So I felt intrigued enough to want to watch this and if the case, try to solve the mystery I set myself, myself.

Although it is sad to hear a daughter refer to her mum as a ‘Prude’ in a later scene when the two mums of the girls meet up, their conversation just goes to show that people, even their own child doesn’t always know what is going on in their parent’s lives.

I do, however, see that yes, a child is going to keep things from a parent if the parent is negative and also that could lead to pushing people/children away.

I knew it ‘Alex?’ The party just turned sour. Kelly (Hannah Vandenbygaart) is up to something, yes, I was right now it is sad to see friends fighting over a ‘Boyfriend’. And now the parents are arguing, what a tangled mess.

It is interesting seeing two parenting styles play out. This is not what I thought it was, like a crime drama but I realise now the term innocent/innocence can obviously mean more in the wider world, I knew that, but I just thought differently for this film. Oh! I spoke too soon. I think the principal should have stayed with girls while the police were there.

It is nice to see the ‘Peace offering’ and now with a trip to the police station for the four of them. I can see that an investigation needs to be carried out, but I do feel that it could have sadly, have gone better. Is she innocent? It does look bad. I also feel Heather and Kelly know more than they are letting on.

A part that is sadly, amusing and so funny is when Heather (Christina Cox) asks for ‘4000 dollars’ worth of ‘Pot’/weed/drugs from Alex’s room/flatmate. It does go to show that if you are going to do a little investigating yourself you do need to know what you are doing, it is not as simple as you might think.

Not everything is as it seems. I know that Matt (Matthew Sterfiuk) has an ulterior motive but it is nice to see that he is willing to help.

I think I have solved the case and the breakin, so I feel that it is right what the lawyer said, divulging too much information is/can be dangerous. Oh no, I think I am right yes, solved, although I did think it was the wrong generation.

If you want to search for this movie on IMDB, don't type in "My Daughter is Innocent" as it will bring up a page that isn't complete, but you must instead search for "Precious Things".
