Story
Legendary filmmaker Mike Leigh returns to the modern world with a fierce, compassionate and often dark sense of humor to explore family and the thorny ties that bind us together. The stunning Marianne Jean-Baptiste, reuniting with Leigh for the first time since the multiple Oscar-nominated Secrets and Lies, plays Pansy, a fearful, tormented woman prone to raging tirades against her husband, son and everyone in sight. her way. Meanwhile, her soft-spoken sister, played by Michelle Austin (Next Year), is a single mother whose life is as different from Pansy’s as their conflicting temperaments – filled with the mutual warmth of salon clients and daughters. This film by the great playwright takes us into the intensity of kinship, duty, and the most enduring human mystery: even through a lifetime of pain and hardship, we still find ways to love those we call family.
