The plot is lean but the acting is true and the epiphanies, albeit small, are completely earned. Leigh has been making films for decades, yet this one feels fresh enough to be his first. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 6 days ago
Mike Leigh’s films often feel like they find the extraordinary in ordinary lives. This is one of his best. Go to Full Review Monica Castillo AV Club 6 days ago
B+

5/5

4/5
