Set in the inner estates of North West London, the movie tells the story of 16-year-old Kayla who joins a rival girl gang led by the volatile and damaged man-hating Danielle only to take revenge on a notorious gang who cruelly and indiscriminately attacked her sister.
It's a confused and confusing movie with odd good moments, but has little by way of revealing insight other than the suggestion that the girl gangsters need loving parents and the protection of a nurturing family.
Despite some confusing narrative turns, writer-director Nirpal Bhogal's thriller is an impactful and authentic look at gang culture on London's meaner streets.
Gritty urban London films are two a penny these days but with Sket, script and production advice from real former gang members has helped create a film that is new, sincere and actually has something to say.
