This is not the jolliest of films but the acting is good and it is a fair insight into life on a council estate. I think you have to be in the right frame of mind to enjoy it but if you are and you like what Mike Leigh does, then you will love it.

Typical Mike Leigh movie. That's saying nothing against Mike Leigh because he has made some brilliant films. A very moving film reflecting a working class family life. The blame for their position ultimately rests with the mother. Not something which is easy to agree with.

Timothy Spall transforms himself into Turner in this Mike Leigh film. It’s vivid and entertaining as well as being informative.
