As I've mentioned before, Mike Leigh and I have a spotty track record. While I usually love the performances in his movies, his decision to give his actors (lots of) room to improvise tends to leave me underwhelmed, as was the cast with Happy-Go-Lucky. So while this appears to be (as indicated by this trailer and the Cannes reviews) another slice-of-life type film, I'm hoping that it will have more of the character engagement that made me like Secrets and Lies so much.
