So much more than a simple “message” film (see The Cider House Rules)–I found myself quite moved by this one, thanks to a) Mike Leigh’s improvisational style, which contributed to a lived-in sense of realism; and b) the gut punch of a performance by Imelda Staunton. It was really two performances, as the movie takes a turn halfway through that completely shifts her performance into something else. I couldn’t tear my eyes away the whole time, and loved this so much more than I thought I might.
