Leigh is an innovative and stimulating director but he wades into presenting caricature of working class but then you see Piers - a pompous public school prick -,well,another caricature so perhaps he's onto something. But without him,British film would be so much duller than it is already and he does it with passion and love .
These 'critics' are such wonderful cliches. This is almost a SNL sketch... unfortunately there is no punch line. These people are hysterical... in a low key sense of course. And now back to Lord Twombly and his tuba recital. (Do you like our glasses?}
@runforthehills707 Let me just put you right. I was referring to some of the people who had been making comments at the time, not the tv presenters discussing the film. I wouldn't have any interest in listening to those talking about the film.

Jane Horrocks and Timothy Spall's characters just do not work in this. They're trying too hard and the accents are awful.

These pretentious people have no idea what they're talking about, although they are arrogant enough to assume they do.....

@MickeyLove01 or perhaps they're just having a discussion and giving their opinion?

Come off it, Piers Gough: "The problem is Alison Steadman is too good"!
First class example of a critic groping helplessly around for something "critical" to say about a film/book/play/whatever.
On the other hand, thank you Michael Dobbs for putting things straight. And thanks Howlingwolf for posting. LIS is a great movie!
