Brilliant domestic drama that emphasizes love and friendship. Witty and touching.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Mike Leigh has another soul-searching winner here,with his anti-heroine (Leslie Manville) becoming less desirable and still too picky with each passing year, and the married couple, Tom & Gerri, giving whatever they can to those who know them while always maintaining their integrity and self-confidence.
Great Movie
Nice movie.
Leslie Manville shines in this drama of a family and those around them who fail to find happiness.It is painful to watch the terminally unhappy Mary(Manville).Her friends,Tom and Geri are smugly supportive.But,the acting is great and so the whole enterprise is worth seeing.
Wasn't the greatest movie I've seen lately.
Good film!

Not a bad movie.
very thoughtful film. An astounding performance by Lesley Mandville makes it memorable.
