DO Give it a go - avoid the temptation of caving in after what seems full on misery for 10 hours! . . . life can feel like that . . . see for yourself . . .
Yeh Yeh, another Mike Leigh film I hear you say - but he's pulled it off again with ALL OR NOTHING. A strong lead of Timothy Spall and Lesley Manville struggle to keep their daily hum drum lives together.
Now as ever it depends where you're looking from. Some comment it's a Middle Class view of working class life, but to be fair, Mike Leigh always does a good take on "Kitchen Sink" drama - and it IS drama at its very best. If you can stand the initial slow pace, and get through to the end without FF>> or surfing, you'll be rewarded with the wonderful way in which the so called working class (of which I am) bond together through travesty, injustice, need, desperation, loathing, loving and struggle.
Those who have never been 'dragged up' on a Coucil Estate, may feel see it differently, but take it from a boy who knows - those characters in the film are my friends and neighbours, and I applaud Mike Leigh on his magic once again. 9/10
