Narrative
Legendary film director Mike Leigh returns to the modern world with a fierce, compassionate and often darkly humorous study of family and the difficult bonds that bind us together. First seen in Secrets and Lies by Leigh after multiple Oscar nominations, the great Marianne Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, an angst-ridden, troubled woman prone to angry tirades against her husband, her son and everything else in his way. Meanwhile, her laid-back younger sister, played by Michele Austin (Another Year), is a single mother whose life is as different from Pansy’s as her conflicting personalities – full of communal warmth from both her salon clients and her daughters. This stirring film from a master actor introduces us to the intensity of kinship, duty and that most enduring of all human mysteries: that even amidst life’s pains and hardships, we still find ways to love those we call family.
