Cannes Excerpts: Mike Leigh's 'Another Year'

[Lightf00t1]

Lesley Manville was brilliant in this film. Felt so sorry for the character she played.

Another gem from ML with brilliant performances from the cast....

most fun iv had being depressed

Let's hope by the time they reach the age where they'll have to confront these aging issues--the more rabid on here will have gained some wisdom & compassion.

I HATED this movie, boring, depressing and pointless. Waste of film.

[morklind]

@kherold31 any intelligent person who understand anything about film, allegoric storyline, character development would appreciate this movie ... and then there a those one-eyebrow, cauliflower-eared flat arse numpties .. like you.

What's it like to be able to kill conversation once you walk into a room?

[Ldale11]

@kherold31 Good news for you, wanker, there's Green Hornet, and there's always Porky's to go back to. Leave adult drama to adults, thinking adults at that. What a neomaxizundweebie!

[festilina]

As usual, Mike Leigh paints a curiously patronising view of the English, as if we' re all rather childlike, sentimental, impressionable and stupid.

[Thelazyfox]

@festilina I hardly think Mike Leigh is trying to paint a picture of a whole nation with this film, he uses a select few characters to represent a select perspective of life, which he does well. I think this film would have worked as well with a number of nationalities.

Mike Leigh. Another stupid arragant British antisemite.

[morklind]

@shlomofeuerwerk How stupid do YOU look to intelligent people? Please deliberate .. an illiterate vacuous spunk bubble like you criticising a renowned artist like Leigh.

Can you spell 'cunt' at least? guess most of ran down your Dad's leg

"What cc is your car?"

British script writing at its best. Can you imagine this line in a Hollywood movie?

Is this what thet used to call 'kitchen sink realism'?

@carsanookdotcom

that's true...Hollywood movies are NOT even in the same class as any Mike Leigh film....
