Life Is Sweet

Mike Leigh’s first international sensation stars Alison Steadmank, Jim Broadbent, Claire Skinner, and Jane Horrocks in this invigorating, intimate portrait of a working-class family in a suburb just north of London. Melancholy and funny by turns, Leigh and his brilliant cast create a vivid, lived-in story of ordinary existence, in which even modest dreams carry enormous weight.
