Mike Leigh
Reviews Featuring Mike Leigh
It teaches you to see the value of the people around you!
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.
Its like punching a puppy for me to say this, but Poppys more irritating than happy, and I found myself wishing for just a little bit more angst.
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).
