    [Highly rated reviewer]

    A typical Mike Leigh film, about relationships, loneliness and coping in 21st century Britain. Wonderful acting throughout and though the plot is minimal Leighfocuses on the characters.Very like Secrets and Lies! Dont miss it! Jim Broadbent is amazing.

    The title says it all.......it is depicting the normalities of life, the ending encapsulates the title, as the next year will be another year of the same without much change, routine for all, more despair / regret for others...the thing that makes this film is the superb character-acting

    I thought this was very dull and not entertaining. It was very 'luvvy-ish' and none of the cast seemed to be straining themselves. It was arty and pretentious and if the cast didn't look as if they were interested.. well, why should I be?!

    What an amazing film - a little slow in places but the fine casting soon makes up for that. Good to see a decent british movie that captures characters we know & love in our own lives - enjoy!

    If you're looking for a racey storyline with a climatic conclusion. This isn't it. More about human nature and the way people interact with each other. British life typically depicted by Mike Leigh. Great acting. A great film is Secrets and Lies by the same director.

    By BrilliantTrees (160 reviews) from Surrey, UK , 10 Apr 2013
    A film about a stable, middle-aged couple surrounded by unstable friends & family. It's not as humerous as some of Mike Leigh's other films & is slow paced, but well worth watching.
