Narrative
Legendary director Mike Leigh returns to the modern world with a ferocious, compassionate and often dark sense of humor to explore family and the thorny ties that bind us. Reuniting with Leigh for the first time since the award-winning, Oscar-nominated Secrets and Lies, the wonderful Marianne Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, a fearful and tormented woman prone to furious tirades against her husband, her son and anyone in sight. in her own way. Meanwhile, her soft-spoken younger sister, played by Michele Austin (Next Year), is a single mother whose life is as different from Pansy’s as their contrasting temperaments, filled with the mutual warmth of salon clients and daughters. This sweeping film from a master playwright takes us into the poignancy of kinship, duty and that most enduring of human mysteries: that even through a lifetime of heartache and hardship, we still find a way to love those we call family.
