You actually spot on! Thatt IS pre-Hollywood repertory actor Tim Roth
(Met him in '81 We were going to an Art Studenty party...On the bus he gave me the advice that the violinist I was doing music with should "wear a short skirt to bring in the customers" What a lad!
Mike Leigh's films are so gritty and depressing, but they are observant. I'd much rather watch this than most of the garbage that gets shown in mainstream cinemas these days.
I cannot get enough of Gary Oldman's character in this film. He's brilliant.

Take 'Only Fools and Horses', 'Eastenders' and 'The Royle Family', put them together, and you've got this!

Such a good film...it's heartbreaking to see the pressure put on the family and how they are struggling to find work....

Perhaps if they spoke English they might get work. I think I hate Mike Leigh.

Oh my, this movie looks brilliant so far. I just watched High Hopes and loved it but this one looks even more promising. Thanks for posting.

Hackney, near Broadway Market- that's where the fence is! The whole area's gone upmarket though.

Both Tim and Gary are two talented and brilliant actors!!!
It's interesting to see them acting the opposite character in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.
