THEY will wonder how on earth it could be happening, because if you take those things out of the equation, it does seem like enough to live on. We are aware that it is not enough because we are already aware of those extra considerations. The film does not address or even hint at those extra considerations. In fact, the film implies that all of her money is sanctioned when she is late, which is false. Therefore, people who don't know about the complex issues going into this film, leave the film... STILL not knowing about those issues.

If the films message only works for those of us who already know it, what is the point of the film? Light entertainment? Is it not aiming to change perceptions? Were your perceptions changed by the film? No, because you were already aware. I am already aware. Does it not have to at least outline these real issues - the ones me and you know about - to those who are ignorant to them and think people "have plenty"... in order to effectively change perceptions? I'm putting myself in the shoes of those people and realising it comes up short. It will not change perceptions.
You were the one banging on about fact checking... leading me to believe that you may not be the switched on lefty snowflake I thought you were .

Who are 'they'? I haven't heard of anyone else who has suggested the main characters and their experiences are anything other than directly comparable to those in the exact same situations currently.
