Pure (2002) watch online

Pure is a 2002 British drama film directed by Gillies MacKinnon and written by Alison Hume, adapted from her research into maternal heroin addiction. It stars Harry Eden as Paul, a young boy who becomes the de facto caretaker for his mother Mel (Molly Parker) and younger brother, following their father's death. Set in London's East End, Pure is told through Paul's perspective and explores the impact of parental drug addiction on family life and innocence. Keira Knightley and David Wenham appear in supporting roles.

The film received a mixed critical response but was praised for Eden's debut performance, which won him a British Independent Film Award as the most promising newcomer. MacKinnon was also honoured with the Manfred Salzgeber Award at the 2003 Berlin International Film Festival.
