Synopsis
Legendary director Mike Leigh returns to the modern world with a fierce, compassionate, and often darkly humorous examination of family and the thorny bonds that bind us together. Reuniting with Leigh for the first time since the Oscar-nominated Secrets & Lies, the astonishing Marianne Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, a woman wracked with fear, tormented by grief, and prone to furious tirades against her husband, son, and anyone who looks her way. Meanwhile, her easygoing younger sister, played by Michele Austin (Another Year), is a single mother with a life as different from Pansy’s as their clashing temperaments—infused with the warmth of bonding between both her salon clients and her daughters. This sprawling film from the master playwright draws us into the depths of kinship, duty, and that most enduring of human mysteries: that even through a lifetime of pain and hardship, we still find ways to love those we call family.
