I feel bad that I felt sympathy for Ray W`s character in the movie. The character, Ray, is a complete a$$ #@!e and a disgusting crature.
I was MORE Angry with Val. I just cannot understand why a woman would put up with that kind of man. Are some of these women really that STUPID.

I think that's the brilliance of this film, it can make you feel so many emotions towards a character and then you end up questioning those emotions.
I couldn't help but feel sorry for Ray when he was talking about his father, especially when he said, "For the first time in my life I talked to him. I said, Why didn't you ever love me?" He is saying all the things he felt for his father and why he disliked him, not realising that he has actually become his father. I thought Ray was the worst kind of person but at that moment in the film I actually felt sympathy for him.
I didn't find myself being angry with Val, I felt more dissapointed that she takes him back at the end of the film after everything Ray has put her through. But this sadly happens a lot in life, I just love how realistic and bleak this film actually is.

Its not that simple. Yeah, She should have left him for her own sake and that of her daughter. Sadly though, domestic abuse is much more complicated than saying "oh she should have left him". No woman stays with an abusive partner because they like being beaten.
Val's mother or grandmother should have gone to the social and tried to get custody of Michelle though, no child should have to witness that.
Were they back together at the end, or was Ray just visiting his daughter ?.
I felt sorry for Ray when he was talking to Val on the phone and he broke down crying , and when he was talking about his father, but at the same time, i was angry at him for what he did to Val. It's also very emotional when he is talking to Val alone outside towards the end of the film.

I think the entire family had reconciled and Ray was clearly giving his daughter more attention than his dad had given him.🐭
