    By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLM

    Mike Leigh's latest film focuses on an idyllic couple nearing old age, and their wayward, depressed friends.

    [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.

    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.

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    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.

    A thoughtful and absorbing story of a year in the life of an elderly couple. They are a beacon of stability in their group of friends, and this is not really their story, rather they are the solid centre of the drama around them. Broadbent and Sheen are touching and believable in their roles as husband and wife Tom and Gerri (geddit) but the film belongs to Lesley Manville as the crumbling friend of Gerri's. As the film progresses I began to empathise with the central pairing less and less, as they seemed to subconciously enjoy being the couple that all their friends desperately wanted to be. Excellent performances and a really absorbing film. Thoroughly recommended.

    Mike Leigh triumphs again. He never fails to produce a wonderful, human, and credible story. He always gets the best out of the actors and his seemingly simple approach means deep and complex investigation into the human spirit.
