"Fifteen-year-old Mia (newcomer Katie Jarvis) is the film’s heroine, and rarely has a more scowling, stroppy, wilful teenager had the whole forcefield of a movie at her disposal. She lives on insult. “Call me back, you bitch!” may not be the best-chosen words to patch up a blighted friendship; there’s even less love lost between Mia and her single mum (Kierston Wareing), who wants to pack her off into juvenile care."
In this extract from the Telegraph, Mia is described as a 'Heroine'. This makes Mia's character seem positive. Mia's relationship with her mum makes the reader feel sympathetic towards her and suggests that maybe she is neglected and misguided. The quote "Call me back, you bitch!' shows Mia has a lack of social skills and doesn't understand how to behave properly. I expect that in the film I will feel empathy for Mia as it is not entirely her fault for the way she behaves. However, I will take into account social boundaries and when her behaviour becomes out of line.
