Watch: The Arbor 2010 123movies, Full Movie Online – Portrayal of the late Bradford playwright Andrea Dunbar..
Plot: Portrayal of the late Bradford playwright Andrea Dunbar. Andrea Dunbar wrote honestly and unflinchingly about her upbringing on the notorious Buttershaw Estate in Bradford and was described as ‘a genius straight from the slums.’ When she died tragically at the age of 29 in 1990, Lorraine was just ten years old. The Arbor revisits the Buttershaw Estate where Dunbar grew up, thirty years on from her original play, telling the powerful true story of the playwright and her daughter Lorraine. Also aged 29, Lorraine had become ostracised from her mother’s family and was in prison undergoing rehab. Re-introduced to her mother’s plays and letters, the film follows Lorraine’s personal journey as she reflects on her own life and begins to understand the struggles her mother faced.

Interesting experiment
The Arbor is a very interesting movie . Unique in the way it is filmed , with actors lip sinking the words of real people who are being interviewed about the life of playwright , Andrea Dunbar.

The only work that i have seen of Andrea Dunbar is ‘ Rita , Sue and Bob too ‘ a bawdy drama from the 80’s. I had no idea the writer if this film lead such a tragic life and that her children suffered so badly too.

While i admire the way this film is made and the obvious skill of the actors and director , i’m still not sure this film totally works. I struggled at times to stay with this movie and i feel it would have benefited from being half an hour shorter.

The Arbor is an experiment that has too much going on for my liking but well done to Clio Barnard for attempting such an ambitious project.

Problematic
I was hugely disappointed by this. The description of the film is wrong – it’s not really about Andrea Dunbar at all – she only features in the first third of the film. Rather it’s about the desperate life of one of her children – a spiral into addiction hell and everything which that entails, all described in graphic detail. I felt very uneasy at the ‘poverty porn’ aspect of the film – what are we to take from it other than these people are in desperate cycles of violence and addiction and alcoholism, with no redeeming features at all? The lip-synch acting is clever initially but is too strained to last the length of a feature and becomes gimmicky. Andrea Dunbar’s story is hugely compelling but the story of the tragedy of her family and focus on her desperate child is not. Made me sad and angry.
