Product Description
From Amazon.com
Writer-director Mike Leigh, after a brief detour into the period drama of Topsy-Turvy, returns to the lives of contemporary working-class Brits. Phil (longtime Leigh collaborator Timothy Spall, Secrets and Lies) is a quiet taxi driver whose marriage to Penny (Lesley Manville) has gone dry, though neither has quite realized it. They bicker with each other and their children and try to find some pleasure in going out with friends, but their friends have their own struggles--even Penny's coworker Maureen (Ruth Sheen), whose naturally buoyant personality is colliding with her resentful daughter's pregnancy. All or Nothing is among Leigh's bleakest films; the relentless misery of these characters' lives is hard to take. But thanks to the incredibly committed acting, when moments of tenderness come, they have a devastating impact. --Bret Fetzer
Description
Three-time Oscar®-nominated* writer/director Mike Leigh (Topsy-Turvy, Secrets & Lies) delivers this "rewarding vibrant poetic slice-of-life drama" (Variety) about an ordinary family dealing with the complexities of life and a crisis that takes them on a tumultuous emotional journey. In a crowded South London apartment building, Penny, a working mom, struggles to keep her wayward daughter, her lazy son and her disillusioned partner on the right path. But when tragedy befalls one of her loved ones, she finds that support comes from the most unexpected places and brings the most surprising results. *1999: Original Screenplay, Topsy-Turvy; 1996: Director, Original Screenplay, Secrets & Lies

Viewer-are you seriously trying to put me down based on the language that I use? My opinion is my voice, as your opinion is yours. I don't think we have to lower ourselves to insults here.Please be more respectful of people next time you write a review, after all--wouldn't you like to have an accurate range for judgement of whether or not something is worth the effort? It would seem to me that your disposition MAKES THIS MOVIE PERFECT FOR YOU. ENJOY.

This review is from: All or Nothing (Widescreen) (DVD)
What the hell?My new movie is called "Meet The Miserables". What it is is Winter Of Our Discontent with a tacked on ending. It's all about what all these ugly english twits do to screw with their lives--very DRAMATICALLY! (weepy weepy weepy!) Guys-your gals'll love you for watching this movie with em, but by the end, you won't want them to. You won't want to be anywhere near them...

This review is from: All or Nothing (Widescreen) (DVD)
Just like all of Leigh's films, you commit to them and want to own them. This one however, has no real comic relief and frankly I couldn't shake the mild depression I developed while watching. Be careful, this a great movie but a real downer.
