Fish tank - questions

This film has won many awards and has been viewed abroad.

1) How might a non british audience view this representation of british collective identity?
Their view would most likely drastically changed of their previous perception of british identity, as they believe that most british citizens are highly educated and successful with a strong etiquette. After viewing this film however, they will be convinced that this is just a complimentary stereotype, and the reality is different. They'll think in Britain, there is non-working class segment which dominates a large part of Britian.

From your Point Of View, is this film realistic?

2) This film takes realistic elements of our society and then exaggerates them a lot. This film plays with the idea of a hollywood narrative, it doesn't have a basic structure or a clear idea of where the film is going, it swerves off the path with unexpected parts to the story. The ending is realistic as she runs away, with many plot points remain unfinished, representing the continuation of life and how it never ends. If this was a hollywood film, her dancing would have vastly improved, she would have been successful, it would reveal she was pregnant, she would tie up relationship with her mum and they would have a happy family unit.
