Drama in which a young carer discovers her talent for stand up comedy.
James Gardner's hard-going yet impressive debut has a standout turn from Liv Hill at the fore.
Definitely interesting, but not entirely successful.
Liv Hill is astonishingly good as a teenage carer whose talent for comedy transforms her troubled life.
Jellyfish is a familiar but compassionately drawn portrait of hardscrabble lives, centred by a terrific performance by Liv Hill.
A young girl in Margate finds escape from her bleak life through comedy, but there’s no such luck for the audience.
Gardner eschews easy triumphalism by remaining true to his protagonist’s situation and using the film’s Margate setting to weave in a deft critique of the gentrification process turning a blind-eye to people like her.
