Imelda Staunton
Reviews Featuring Imelda Staunton
Truly delightful.
A film carefully calculated to please an English audience, with its combination of patriotism, sport, cheek and absurdity. Not just a good laugh, but also a snapshot of our times.
'Bright Young Things' is a riotously entertaining portrait of parasitic, feckless abandon in the late 1930s. A delicious, delirious dance through a time of serious change.
Superbly acted 1950s-set drama in which illegal abortions engender an unexpected kind of family tragedy - not quite Mike Leigh's best, but still quietly devastating.
Another worthy but depressing slice of life from Mike Leigh. Do not watch if you're a depressed singleton (check). Do watch if you want to see quality acting and emotional subjects tackled very well (also check, so not all bad).
