    ★★★★½

    ‘i’m scared of looking back,
    i’m scared of getting bitter’

    there’s something about mike leigh’s films that capture british social realism more accurately than anyone else.

    ‘it’s all a bourgeois game, get yourself a nice house, coupla kids, dogs, garden with a greenhouse …
    it ain’t everybody’s purpose in life to accumilate money’

    fuck thatcher and fuck the tories.

    ‘the mirror, it’s broken’
    ‘i like it that way. it makes me look the way i feel’

    this could quite possibly be my new favourite, movie-wise.
