LESLEY MANVILLE!!

The story is okay, but perhaps not as great as some of other Mike Leigh's films (Secrets & LIes and the recent Happy-Go-Lucky). However, Lesley Manville gives an outstanding performance. Though she is good in his other films, she really takes it to the limit here. Her performance is worth seeing. Also, Ruth Sheen, who is a mainstay in Leigh's films also shines here. Watch if you appreciate good performances.
